Wild herbs and crushed stone frame dark plum and cherry fruit. The absence of Merlot and Cabernet Franc shows. This is linear and mineral-driven rather than plush. Firm structure with bright acidity suggests excellent aging potential. Drink 2018-2035.

Dominus

Christian Moueix's Napa project, built on the historic Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, produces two Cabernet-based wines that sit among the valley's most age-worthy and structurally precise reds.
