Merchant's description

Rooted in values of quality, stewardship, tradition and innovation, the Dominus Estate team produces distinctive wines that express the essence of the historic Napanook vineyard. The 2003 vintage is a red blend composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Boasting an aromatic nose of violets, raspberries and worn leather. Flavours begin discretely with essences of cumin and dark red fruit that build up to a suppleness and elegance that is enveloping. The finish is long, fragrant and fresh, with an intensity of tobacco and truffle notes.
