2018 Dominus | Napanook Vineyard, Yountville Napa Valley, California 750ml

Perfectly balanced, Dominus 2018 maintains focus on the palate with aromas of sweet blue fruit, jasmine, cardamom, layers of plum and caramel. The wine finishes very long with lift and acceleration. | Dominus

This is tightly packed, with sleep, pure, ddriven notes of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry puree allied to an iron spine, while subtle alder, juniper, sweet bay leaf and tobacco notes peek in throughout. Very fine-grained, but impressively sturdy in feel, with a very long, lingering note of iron piercing the finish. For the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2040. 4,000 cases made. | 98 points, Wine Spectator
