Dominus Napanook 2009 Christian Moueix

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2009 Napanook is simply glorious. Sweet dark cherries, mint, tobacco, wild flowers and licorice all jump from the glass. The 2009 is a juicy, extroverted Napanook that impresses for its sheer pleasure and total harmony. Layers of fruit continue to build to the huge, creamy finish. As good as the 2009 is today, I have a hard time thinking it won't be better in another few years. If anything, this is too serious a wine for an entry-level offering. The 2009 is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

Notably herbal and rustic, this is oaky, too, showing a mix of dry, cedary oak, crushed rock, dried berry and currant flavors, leading to a dry, woody finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. 3,700 cases made.
