Dominus "Napanook" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

James Suckling : 97 Points

(3/6/2024) This shows a lot of class, with aromas of blackcurrants, graphite, blueberries, dried flowers, black truffles and a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with seamless tannins that goes on and on. Endless. Blackcurrants, dark mushrooms and violets with hints of fresh rose stems and light herbs. Velvety texture. A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Better after 2027.

(12/26/2023) The 2021 Napanook is one heck of a Napanook, offering complex notes of currants, cassis, graphite, leafy tobacco, lead pencil, and chocolate. Incredible on the palate, it's full-bodied and round, with supple, vibrant, incredible tannins. This is easily the finest vintage I've tasted of this cuvee and it's the equivalent of many a Grand Vin from other producers. Maturity: 2026 - 2041.
