Napanook

Cabernet Blend Napa Valley 2012

The second wine of Napa Valley’s famed Dominus Estate, this wine is made solely from grapes grown at the historic Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, Napanook is blended from vineyard blocks carefully selected for their lively fruit, soft tannins, and early maturing characteristics. The wine is created to be consumed young and enjoyed with food, but will also age well for more than a decade. The vineyard is entirely dry-farmed, allowing the vines to draw deeply on the land’s unique geology. The viticulture and winemaking are undertaken meticulously, with the objective of producing wines that are pure, balanced, and complex. Minimal intervention and restraint throughout the process of grape berry selection, fermentation and ageing preserve the character of the fruit. The resulting wines, with a tremendous potential for ageing, convey the very personality of this historic vineyard.
