Winemaker's Notes:

In 1996, Christian Moueix first released Napanook, a wine specifically intended to be enjoyed in its younger years. Eight years later, Napanook has achieved near legendary status in Yountville with its blend of four varietals from vineyard lots chosen for their finesse, lively fruit and subtle tannins. Harmonious in balance, this wine is truly a pleasure to drink.

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.
