Natalie's Score: 91/100

A full-bodied, balanced, Bordeaux-style Napa red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes. More earthy and elegant than fruity. Lovely dusty, smoky finish. Needs cellar time then decant 2 hours when you open it. Pair with prime rib.

Food pairings: rib steak, lamb chops, beef tenderloin, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Aromatic bouquet of dark fruit, earth, leather and black pepper. The palate is lovely and exceptionally well crafted - violet, plums, cassis and smoke are persistent. This vintage will mature in the bottle, decanting recommended.
Produced by Christian Moueix, Dominus Napanook (2013) is a Napa Valley, Bordeaux-style red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes. Earthy, smoky and spicy, this robust and warming red (14.5% abv) needs to be decanted a couple of hours prior to serving with a prime rib roast. Or cellar for 10 years. - Community Wine Reviews
