Verified Critic Score 97 Wine Spectator Dominus 2023 is the flagship wine of Dominus Estate, the Napa Valley project of Christian Moueix — the legendary Pomerol négociant behind Pétrus. Sourced from the historic Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, this Bordeaux-inspired blend is one of California's most celebrated and collectible reds.The 2023 vintage expresses the estate's signature precision and depth: dark cassis, black plum, and crushed violet on the nose, layered with graphite, cedar, and a whisper of tobacco. The palate is structured yet supple, with Moueix's hallmark balance of power and finesse, and a finish of remarkable length and minerality.
