Item Description
Dominus 1997 3L Napa Valley
Dominus, produced by the Dominus Estate Corporation, is made solely from grapes grown on the historic Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, California.
The 1997 vintage is in effect a return to the original blend. Indeed, the three varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, were showing such a beautiful balance, that no Petit Verdot was added to the final blend.
Substantial rains fell in December and January, followed by a very dry spring. As the season continued, the bloom started in mid-April and was relatively short. This would later make for uniformity of ripeness. By summer it was evident that the harvest would be large and severe crop thinning necessary. The favorable weather continued during the summer, helping the maturation and improving the flavors of the Cabernets and Merlot.
87% Cabernet Sauvignon
9% Cabernet Franc
4% Merlot
