Parker about Dominus 2013
The 2013 Dominus is, to my way of thinking, one of the most profound wines Christian Moueix has yet made in his rather brilliant winemaking history, both in France and in Napa Valley. This wine, with very low yields of only 3,500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, offers up notes of cedar wood, forest floor, loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit . Very opaque purple in color, super-pure and intense, this wine has low acidity, but ripe, noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville.

Dominus 2013
Awarded a perfect 100-point score by leading critics, the 2013 Dominus Estate is a monumental benchmark from Christian Moueix’s historic dry-farmed Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, Napa Valley.
Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon alongside small proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2013 vintage represents one of the greatest wines ever produced in California.
In the glass, the 2013 Dominus displays an opaque ruby-purple hue.
On the nose, it unfurls a profound, multidimensional bouquet of blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and dark plum layered with graphite, crushed rock, bitter chocolate, cigar box, cedarwood, and dried Mediterranean herbs.
On the palate, the 2013 Dominus unites breathtaking concentration and architectural power with Pomerol-like grace. Velvety, ultra-fine tannins and vibrant acidity frame a seemingly bottomless core of dark berry fruit, savoury spice, and gravelly minerality, culminating in a finish that lingers for well over a minute—built to evolve over three to four decades.

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.
