While both wines are made from grapes grown on the historic Napanook vineyard, Napanook is crafted to be a more accessible and earlier-drinking expression of the site’s terroir compared to the flagship Dominus wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eThe Napanook vineyard, which dates back to 1836, provides the foundation for both wines. However, the blend for Napanook often differs slightly from the main wine, allowing for a unique identity. It is typically a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, with varying proportions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eFirst released in 1996, Napanook is known for being a powerful yet more approachable wine in its youth. It generally showcases a vibrant fruit profile, balanced by supple tannins and a notable freshness. The wine reflects the classic Dominus style of elegance and restraint, while offering a more immediate and fruit-forward drinking experience. It represents an excellent introduction to the quality and character of the Dominus Estate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1998 Napanook (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot) exhibits soft, straightforward coffee, herbs, cedar, and prune-like black cherry fruit flavors. This is a charming, up-front, medium-bodied wine that is meant to be drunk over the next 4-6 years. This wine (4,300 cases) offers a fine introduction to the Dominus style.
