Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005

9.4

Give a Bordeaux winemaker California sunshine and magic happens! The nose is dark fruit, very dark fruit, with tobacco and anise notes. The palate is blackberry, boysenberry, black currant compote with licorice and some tobacco. Outstanding. — 10 years ago

It's been an honor to sell the wines of the Rovellotti family over the last couple years. From 05 to 07 there has been a high mark of consistency. I'm so happy that people are catching on to the magic of Northern Piedmont. This wine spends around four years in Slovenian botte before bottling. Just released, this is one of the most intense but fragrant wines I've had from Antonello and co. — 11 years ago

Dark fruit balanced through old oak showing light spice on the nose encouraging thought to nail a specific note but is remaining a bit of an enigma in my rock rattled head after a good day enhanced by 75 MPH Harley induced wind and the brilliance of Bose and an iPhone. Ok, back to the wine, it touches, lightly grabs spreading its dark berry mini-burst in a layered earth touched tannin slow ride making magic with some of Chapel Hill's Bin 54's straight up amazing goodness (in this case very rare filet mignon, garlic tinged green beans and almond slivers; my go to steak spot in NC). Damn, this is all so right-on! Cheers! — 10 years ago
