DOMINIUS ESTATE, NAPANOOK, 2016
NAPA VALLEY
" A beautiful perfume of violets, anise, truffle and lavender just begins to emerge over a core of warm cassis, blackberry jam and ripe plum, plus notes of cedar chest, chocolate box, rare beef and cardamom. The palate is medium to full-bodied and firmly textured with very ripe tannins, gradually revealing layers of black and blue fruits as well as plenty of earthy sparks, finishing with stunning freshness and depth. " - Wine Advocate Parker
