The 100-Point 2023 Dominus!
The fruit of an exceptional harvest, Christian Moueix has just released his 2023 Dominus. While not yet rated by Wine Spectator or Wine Advocate, this iconic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has already taken home a range of adoring reviews, including a perfect 100-Point rating from Lisa Perrotti-Brown.
And, before you check out the jaw-dropping reviews, we have two more important things to point out:
This is the first release of Dominus in two years, as Christian Moueix completely scrapped the 2022 vintage as it did not meet his standards.
Despite skipping the previous vintage, Christian has set pricing for his extraordinary 2023 Dominus $100 below the 2021 vintage!
Can you believe it? From zero to 100 in a single year, and for a better price! Click quickly on the Big Green Button to secure a few bottles of what is inarguably one of America’s greatest wines.

2023 Dominus Estate "Dominus" Proprietary Red
Yountville, Napa Valley, California
~~~~~~~~~~~
“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. Drinking Window: 2029–2059.”
- 100 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown (1/2026)
“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.”

“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.”
