Dominus Napanook Vineyard 2023

TW94

Dominus Napanook Vineyard 2023 is a refined and expressive Napa Valley red blend crafted from the historic Napanook Vineyard in Yountville. Produced by the acclaimed Dominus Estate, this wine reflects the elegance, structure, and balance that have made the property one of Napa Valley’s most respected producers. Napanook represents the estate’s earlier-drinking expression while still delivering the depth and complexity associated with Dominus wines.

The nose reveals vibrant aromas of black cherry, cassis, and ripe plum layered with notes of violet, graphite, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, concentrated dark fruit flavors are complemented by hints of cocoa, cedar, and mineral undertones. Fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity provide structure and freshness, leading to a long, polished finish that highlights the wine’s elegance and precision.

Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Bordeaux varietals, Napanook Vineyard 2023 is carefully fermented and aged to preserve fruit purity while building complexity and texture. The result is a beautifully balanced Napa Valley wine that can be enjoyed upon release or cellared for additional development.

Dominus Napanook Vineyard 2023 is an exceptional choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated Napa Valley red with both approachability and pedigree.

The Wine Palate

"The 2023 Napanook is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it strides confidently out of the glass with bold notes of black cherries, warm cassis, and tilled soil, giving way to hints of wild sage, graphite, black pepper, and underbrush. Full-bodied, the palate delivers a solid backbone of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to back up the muscular black fruit layers, finishing long and earthy."
