Dominus Red Wine Napa Valley 2016 Wood Box

Upon uncorking, the nose is greeted with enchanting aromas of deep forest berries, evoking images of lush woodlands. Juniper adds a subtle yet captivating herbal quality, while truffle infuses an earthy richness to the bouquet. As the wine opens up, delicate nuances of potpourri, Indian spices, and cigar box emerge, intermingling with notes of crushed blackberries and black cherries. Intermittent wafts of black and red currants, new leather, and smoked meats further enhance the aromatic complexity. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a densely packed mid-palate bursting with freshness and vitality. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while compelling earthy accents add depth. The wine dazzles with its vibrant black and red fruit sparkle, leading to a mesmerizing mineral finish that lingers long after the last sip.
