The 2012 Dominus opens with a lush and layered bouquet of black cherry compote, black raspberries, cassis, lavender, cedar and Asian spice. On the palate it is full‑bodied yet remarkably refined, with polished tannins, incisive acidity and a core of dark earth, cocoa, licorice and graphite minerality. The finish is long and seamless, revealing dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and subtle cedar, promising decades of ageing while already delivering beautiful complexity now.
Founded by Christian Moueix on the historic Napanook Vineyard in the heart of Napa Valley, Dominus Estate blends Bordeaux‑style precision with Californian terroir. The estate emphasizes dry‑farmed vines, hand‑sorting, native yeasts, and extended aging in French oak—crafting wines that express both site and vintage with elegance and depth. Their philosophy revolves around restraint and balance, allowing structure and complexity to develop naturally rather than chasing pure opulence.
