Discover this Dominus Estate 2006
In the late 1960s, Christian Moueix fell in love with both the wines and the vineyards of Napa Valley. By the 1970s, he was back at home in France working for his family’s vineyards. However, as the son of famed Jean-Pierre Moueix, the most notorious wine merchant and producer in France, his family’s estates consist of some of the best - Pétrus, Château La Fleur-Pétrus, Château Trotanoy in Pomerol, and Château Magdelaine in Saint-Émilion. However, with his heart still set on California, Christian returned to Napa in 1981, and finally, in 1995, he entered a partnership to develop the historic Napanook vineyard. He named the property “Dominus” meaning the “Lord of the Estate” in Latin to accentuate his commitment to the land. Today, many of the exotic and budding elements of his Bordeaux background shine through in his wines – specifically in his flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, Dominus. While his second label, Napanook, is debatably just as impressive, and even more approachable, needing only three to four years to mature. While Dominus benefits from at least ten years’ patience.

Critical Acclaim
Starting to take on the tertiary character of ripe fruit and savory components with dusty tannins. Full and round with a lovely texture and a light salty, meaty and tobacco character. Forest floor. Sweet and sour. Just opening.
