Parker about Dominus 2014
The 2014s, where the production of Napanook was only 2,200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4,000 cases, was another early harvest, although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus, which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix's belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf, spice box and licorice . The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously – as most 2014s are – and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.

Dominus 2014
The Dominus 2014 presents itself in the glass in a deep, dark ruby red color with a hint of violet at the rim.
The bouquet is impressively complex and intense. Aromas of black cherries, blackberries, cassis, and dark berries unfold, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, graphite, and a subtle spicy nuance. The bouquet is well balanced and lends the wine a fascinating depth.
On the palate, the 2014 Dominus displays impressive structure and smoothness. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, giving the wine a pleasant texture. The fruity aromas continue on the palate, supported by a well-integrated acid structure. The wine displays remarkable complexity and depth, with a long finish.
The Dominus 2014 is accessible even in its youth, but also has great potential for further development and aging over many years. It pairs perfectly with hearty red meats, such as beef fillet or lamb chops, as well as with mature cheeses.
With its exceptional quality and elegant character, the Dominus 2014 represents the excellence of the Dominus Estate and is a wine that will delight both experienced wine connoisseurs and new explorers.

Information about the winemaker:
The history of the Dominus winery is inextricably linked to the history of Christian Moueix, one of the greatest and most well-known winemakers of our time. With more than five decades of experience in wine production in the legendary wine-growing region of Bordeaux and around 40 years of experience on the soil of the Napa Valley in the USA, there is probably no other winemaker in the world who has such an incomparable insight into the old and the new Weinwelt has won like Moueix.
