The winery makes one Napa's so-called cult Cabernets and its eponymous wine regulary receives critical acclaim. The owner, Christian Moueix, has had ownership – at least in part – since 1982, and ran the estate concurrently with his family wine business in Bordeaux until 2008. The estate is based around the Napanook vineyard, which is notable for being one of the first sites planted to grapes in the Napa Valley. George Yount, who gives his name to the Yountville appellation, set up a vineyard here in 1838 and, since then, the 50-hectare (124-acre) site has been owned by all manner of Napa stalwarts including John Daniel Jr, who is widely credited with bringing the Inglenook estate to world prominence. Moueix went into partnership in 1982 with Robin Lail and Marcia Smith, the daughters of John Daniel Jr, and, in 1995, took over as the sole owner. Since then, a second vineyard has been added to the Dominus portfolio, this time in Oakville. The Napanook vineyard sits on the edge of the Mayacamas Mountains, rising slightly into the hills to the west of the valley. The vineyard is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, although there are plantings of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This makeup is reflected in Dominus Estate's flagship red wine, which is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with some Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc – although the exact proportions depend on the vintage. Dominus Estate also makes an entry-level red wine, Othello, and a mid-level Cabernet, Napanook. The vineyard is dry-farmed both to conserve water and to control yields and thus the quality of the fruit. Moueix has also been a particular proponent of crop-thinning, having used it since the early 1970s at his most high-profile estate: Pétrus. This practice is said to improve the quality of the fruit as it improves the leaf-to-fruit ratio, aiding ripening. Dominus Estate is also notable for its winery, designed by the same Swiss architects that designed Beijing's Olympic Stadium. It is constructed from gabions filled with stones, which give the winery natural light as well as moderating Napa Valley's extremes of temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-08-04T16:00:25-04:00","created_at":"2023-08-03T19:52:10-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","Other_Wine","Producer_Dominus Estate","Region_California","RK0208","Source_Hedonism0823","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":68500,"price_min":68500,"price_max":68500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43161144590474,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Dominus Estate | Othello","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":68500,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/34_9a425447-0779-4269-b4bf-b9fe2b66eb0e.jpg?v=1691106772"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/34_9a425447-0779-4269-b4bf-b9fe2b66eb0e.jpg?v=1691106772","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Dominus Estate | Othello at CaskCartel.com","id":24884348747914,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.315,"height":327,"width":103,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/34_9a425447-0779-4269-b4bf-b9fe2b66eb0e.jpg?v=1691106772"},"aspect_ratio":0.315,"height":327,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/34_9a425447-0779-4269-b4bf-b9fe2b66eb0e.jpg?v=1691106772","width":103}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Dominus Estate | Othello\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLots of crushed stone, lead pencil and licorice aromas that are extremely aromatic and bright.
