Jeb Dunnuck

Based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot and aged 20 months in 40% new French oak, the 2023 Dominus is absolutely gorgeous, with an incredible level of purity and refinement. Cassis, graphite, crushed stone, melted crayons, and floral nuances all define the aromatics. It's medium to full-bodied, with seamless, refined elegance, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. This more charming, forward, and seductive style of Dominus will offer incredible appeal over the next 20-25 years or more. Drink 2025-2050.

Wine Palate

The 2023 Dominus is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. Opaque purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a powerful core of blackcurrant jelly, ripe black plums, and fresh blueberries, followed by hints of menthol, crushed rocks, dried sage, black truffles, and black olives. The full-bodied palate is both generous and energetic, displaying an impressive array of savory and earthy nuances among the dense black fruit layers and a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and beautiful tension, finishing with epic length.

James Suckling

Black currant, pencil shaving, subtle sandalwood, wet earth, forest floor and violet aromas follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with ultra-fine tannins that integrate perfectly at the end. A polished and caressing texture that goes on for minutes. The balance and drinkability of this Dominus is terrific, and it will age beautifully. A blend of 87% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. From organically grown grapes. Very drinkable now, but will age beautifully.

About This Wine

More About Dominus Estate Napa Valley Red: In a vintage defined by balance, the 2023 from Dominus Estate achieves an architectural level of precision. Its perfect 100-point recognition reflects more than quality; it speaks to harmony, each element calibrated in exact proportion. Rooted in the historic Napanook Vineyard, it carries a lineage few California wines can claim. Guiding this vision is Christian Moueix, whose legacy includes stewardship of Château Pétrus, one of Bordeaux’s most revered estates. At Dominus, his approach is deliberate, favoring balance over power and precision over opulence. The result is a wine that does not impose itself but instead unfolds with authority, revealing layers of depth shaped as much by discipline as by terroir. In the cellar, that philosophy takes tangible form. Fermented lot by lot and handled carefully, the 2023 is built from 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. Traditional techniques, including careful racking in place of filtration, preserve both purity and structure. What emerges is a wine where dark fruit, mineral tension, and finely etched tannins align with seamless precision.
