Dominus is one of the great American wines. The red blend hails from the historic Napanook Vineyard, which sits in the foothills of Mayacamas. While the vineyard was planted in 1838, it didn’t achieve global acclaim until legacy winemaker Christian Moueix took the helm. In the last decade alone, this cult cabernet has notched a whopping 14 perfect scores from critics. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 90 cabernet sauvignon, 6 petit verdot, and 4 cabernet franc that captures the uniqueness its terroir. It’s round, juicy, and earthy, with a reserved personality and plenty of potential. Wine critic Lisa Perrotti-Brown projects this gem to age well for another four decades, calling it “a spectacular expression of the vintage.” The Final Sip: Any serious collector California cult cabs would be remiss to omit 2019 Dominus from their cellar.
Critics Scores
James Suckling
Lots of crushed stone, lead pencil and licorice aromas that are extremely aromatic and bright. Black cherries, cloves and purple fruit, too. Full body and a round and ripe center-palate with a juicy interior. It opens at the end with a savory and juicy finish. Layered and beautiful. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years.
Wine Spectator
A loaded wine, though reserved in style, with waves of dense cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserves moving through authoritatively, while sweet bay leaf, warm loam and tobacco accents fill in the background. The long cast iron spine is deeply buried in the fruit, and this has superior cut and drive. Built for serious cellaring, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2040
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Dominus is blend of 90 Cabernet Sauvignon, 6 Petit Verdot and 4 Cabernet Franc, aged in 40 new French oak. Impressively dark-hued in the glass, it yields scents of cherries and cassis on the nose—or is it black cherries and redcurrants? Subtle notes of mocha, pencil shavings and almost Graves-like earthiness wind through the concentrated, medium to full-bodied palate, giving it a sense of savory gravitas, while the finish is silky and long, leaving a lingering residue of soft tannins and mouthwatering freshness.
