I am delighted to offer our first release of Dominus and Napanook. The 2023 vintage is already attracting considerable attention, and with no 2022 release preceding it, demand is likely to be particularly strong. Whether you are a longstanding follower or looking to experience one of California's greatest estates for the first time, this is a compelling opportunity to secure two of the region's most sought-after wines.

Dominus remains one of Napa Valley's defining wines, combining Californian fruit with a European sense of elegance, restraint and longevity that set it apart from many of its peers. The highly regarded 2023 offers profound depth and precision, revealing layers of cassis, black plum, sweet spice, cedar and graphite, all framed by fine-grained tannins and a distinctive mineral freshness. Powerful yet poised, it is a classic Dominus that promises decades of development.
Napanook, the estate's second wine, offers a more immediate expression of the historic vineyard while sharing the same meticulous attention to detail. The 2023 combines vibrant blackcurrant and blackberry fruit with notes of dried herbs, cocoa, cedar and graphite. Silky, balanced and impressively refined, it captures much of the character that makes Dominus so revered, while remaining approachable earlier in its life.
