Winemaker's Notes:

 The Dominus 2009 exemplifies the finest qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon from an ideal vintage. The nose, at once powerful yet restrained, is dense and filled with pure dark berry fruit and hints of sandalwood. On the palate is a harmonious blend of fresh plum and focused minerality with tannins that are firm, round and elegant. Spherical in quality, this wine is complete from start to finish. A sublime vintage.

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot

About Dominus:

 Dominus is produced by Christian Moueix and winemaker, Tod Mostero, from the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville. Their goal is to produce a Bordeaux-blend red wine with elegance, complexity and balance that conveys a sense of place.
