Napa Valley 2021

Dominus Estate, årgangsark (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2021 Dominus, Napa Valley – Napanook Vineyard, Yountville. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon: 95%, Cabernet Franc: 5%. Høststart: September 16 Høstslut: October 1 Nye fade: 40% Produktion (kasser): 3700 Frigivet: Summer 2024 Smagsnote (producentens tekst, engelsk): Voluptuous and vibrant, dense evergreen forest floor, incense, profound depth, rich plum and an extremely long finish. Årgangen (producentens tekst, engelsk): The vintage was characterized by a dry winter and spring, with a total of 14” of rain (July 2020 to June 2021, historical average: 31”). 2021 was the second consecutive year of a drought that started in January 2020. Temperatures were constantly warm over the growing season, moderately higher than the historical average and remained consistent throughout the ripening period. The weather conditions in 2021 favored an early hydric constraint which promoted production of small berries with high levels of phenolic compounds and deeply intense aromas.
