Dominus Estate - Napanook 2019

Dominus 2019 opens gradually with sweet tobacco, marjoram and jasmine leading to a resonant core of iron and black plum. Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot 96 points - James Suckling An open and beautiful wine with green-olive and currant aromas and flavors. Some bark and earth, too, together with mushrooms, herbs, crushed stones and pomegranate. Medium to full body with round, creamy tannins and refined finish. Blood orange at the end. Crunchy. So drinkable now, but will age beautifully. 94 points - Wilfed Wong The 2019 Napanook is nicely structured and lasting on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and a touch of oak. Pair it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye.
