Dominus Napanook Vineyard 2021 showcases the precision, balance, and timeless craftsmanship that define Christian Moueix’s celebrated Napa Valley estate. Sourced exclusively from the historic Napanook Vineyard—originally part of the legendary 19th-century Inglenook property—this vintage captures the essence of Napa’s terroir with remarkable depth and elegance.
The 2021 Napanook is vibrant and expressive, offering aromas of blackberry, cassis, and graphite, accented by hints of tobacco and spice. On the palate, the wine reveals refined tannins, layered dark fruit, and savory mineral undertones. Aged 18 months in French oak, it delivers power and poise with a long, structured finish that promises graceful aging.
