Dominus is a Napa Bordeaux blend from the Dominus Estate in Yountville, California. Dominus was established by Christian Mouiex of Chateau Petrus in 1981, sourcing fruit from the dryfarmed Napanook vineyard - a site famous for producing some of the best Napa wines of the 1940s and 1950s.Dominus is also the name of the flagship wine of the estate, a seamlessly elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. "This has a very intense, masculine nose with blackberry, cassis and a touch of black truffle, a bouquet that want to be more Bordeaux than Napa! The palate is cohesive, dense, decadent and slightly raisiny, but it just lacks a little lift and the degree of finesse I expected on the finish." Wine Advocate, 2009
