Dominus is a Napa Valley legend, and its founder, Christian Moueix is a certifiable superstar both here in Napa and in his hometown of Bordeaux. We scored a few cases of the rare 100 point greatness of their 2023 Proprietary Red – a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot from the duly heralded 2023 vintage.
Dominus has been a mainstay in the Napa Valley since 1982, bringing a California emphasis under the gaze of a Petrus-trained eye. Decades of success and cult-like status has made the yearly release of Dominus a star-studded affair – and this 2023 is sure to stand as one of the greatest of all-time. Scope out the soaring scores below, and then head swiftly to the cart. This wine is iconic, powerful, and endlessly complex – though it won’t be here for long.
About The Producer
In the late 1960s, while attending the University of California at Davis, Christian Moueix fell in love with the Napa Valley and its wines. In 1981, he discovered the historic Napanook Vineyard, a 124-acre site west of Yountville that had been the source of fruit for some of the finest Napa Valley wines of the 1940s and 1950s. In 1982, Moueix entered into a partnership to develop the vineyard, and in 1995, became its sole owner.
