Dominus Estate Napanook 2021

The 2021 Napanook by Dominus Estate showcases a bold and vibrant character, distinct from its flagship counterpart. This wine offers exuberant fruit flavors, a smooth structure, and a medium-bodied texture that lends to its immediate appeal. Aromas of currants, cassis, graphite, leafy tobacco, lead pencil, and chocolate contribute to its complexity. On the palate, it presents a harmonious blend of fruit and savory notes, supported by fine tannins and a balanced acidity. The 2021 Napanook is approachable in its youth but also possesses the structure to develop gracefully with age.
