Dominus Proprietary Red Wine 2005 Napa Valley
'The 2005 Dominus continues to strut its stuff, tasting like a Napa hybrid blend of a St-Emilion and Pomerol. Its dark ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by notions of cedarwood, spice box, roasted herbs, sweet black cherry and cassis fruit, licorice, and truffles. Full-bodied with excellent fruit intensity, complex aromatics, supple tannins, and a long finish, this 7,000-case blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot should drink well for two decades or more'. 95+ points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
