2020, Dominus, Jean-Pierre Moueix, NAPA VALLEYAn excellent wine, even if not a great Dominus, the 2020 Dominus delivers waves of dark fruitthink predominantly cassis. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, it's full bodied and richly textured, perhaps a bit warm and open knit because of the summer's heat, but with a long, velvety finish attractively tinged with mocha and dark chocolate. 95 Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate (2023).
