Napa Valley 2015

Dominus Estate, årgangsark (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2015 Dominus, Napa Valley – Napanook Vineyard, Yountville. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon: 86%, Cabernet Franc: 5%, Petit Verdot: 9%. Høststart: September 2 Høstslut: September 16 Aftapning: July 2018 Nye fade: 40% Produktion (kasser): 3800 Frigivet: May 2018 Smagsnote (producentens tekst, engelsk): Dominus 2015, with its remarkably complex nose, is an utterly seductive wine. It displays red and black fruits and an ethereal aroma of deep cherry, warm citrus and marzipan. Finely polished tannins on a beautiful, weightless finish are accompanied by great depth and length. Årgangen (producentens tekst, engelsk): 2015 was characterized by a wet winter, which replenished the soil’s water reserve, followed by a dry spring. A sudden cooling of temperatures in May affected the bloom and reduced the size and number of berries per cluster. The remaining growing season was consistently warm with a three-day heat wave during harvest that sent temperatures above 102 F from September 8-10.
