WINE DESCRIPTION
Dominus Dominus is a sublime Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon crafted by Christian Moueix, the esteemed winemaker behind iconic wines such as Petrus and La Fleur-Pétrus. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. On the nose, Dominus reveals rich aromas of dark fruits, cassis, and blackberry, underscored by subtle notes of tobacco, cedar, and sweet baking spices. On the palate, the wine is lush and expansive, with a dense core of dark fruit flavors and a firm structure of fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with a hint of espresso and cocoa emerging in the aftertaste.
