100 points Jane Anson- The aromatics are a little more contained than the Napanook, knitted down with savoury incense and charred sandalwood, and a texture that even visually is rich and supple. Through the palate, things move slowly and deliberately, tobacco, musk, ocean spray, iris, with layers of sweet red liquorice, olive tapenade, latte, crushed rocks, broth, cranberry, just a beautifully crafted wine that is so enticing you could drink it now, but that promises to reward long ageing.
The DOMINUS 750ML CALIFORNIA-CABERNET/CAB BLENDS showcases a rich and complex flavor profile, characterized by dark fruit notes, subtle oak, and hints of spice. Produced in California, renowned for its exceptional vineyards, this wine benefits from the region's diverse climate and terroir, resulting in a well-balanced and full-bodied Cabernet blend.
This versatile wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including grilled red meats, rich pastas, and roasted vegetables. It complements hearty cheeses and can enhance the flavors of rich, savory sauces.
Dominus 2023 showcases a complex flavor profile with notes of dark fruits, black cherry, and subtle hints of oak, reflecting the terroir of Napa Valley. The wine's robust structure is complemented by fine tannins and a lingering finish, characteristic of exceptional California vintages.

Expert Reviews
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.
The only one of the Dominus wines to show more than a hint of wood, the 2023 Dominus matured in 40% new French oak, leaving it marked by caramel and cedar overtones. Yet that oak aging is balanced by plenty of black cherry fruit and loamy earth notes, blending easily into a harmonious whole. Medium- to full-bodied, this rich, almost creamy blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot finishes with velvety tannins borne on a finish that unfolds to reveal incredible persistence and complexity.
