Dominus Estate, årgangsark (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 1991 Dominus, Napa Valley – Napanook Vineyard, Yountville. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon: 80%, Cabernet Franc: 19%, Petit Verdot: 1%. Høststart: October 6 Høstslut: October 18 Aftapning: June 1993 Nye fade: 40% Produktion (kasser): 6500 Frigivet: October 1995 Smagsnote (producentens tekst, engelsk): Considered the most harmonious and elegant wine to be released by the Dominus winery in the first decade of its existence, the 1991 Dominus has a deep ruby color, and possesses extraordinary intensity and balance, as well as phenomenal richness and fruit. The wine exhibits silky tannins with a full-bodied palate and an elegant, long finish. Årgangen (producentens tekst, engelsk): We received 26.5 inches of rain (normal 35.68). Initially the season was of concern due to the late bloom, veraison and harvest. As it turned out, the 1991 season was an example of where the added time on the vines was indeed positive. The 1991 growing season was one of the longest on record in the Napa Valley, producing a fruit of extraordinary quality.
