Let me start by admitting I am a huge fan of Dominus. Almost unhealthily so. This being their Oakville project I was super excited to try it. I was anxious to see how it was in its youth so I decided to taste it over a leisurely Friday night. It really struck me as having a similar profile as the 2016 Napanook. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it. A lot. But could I spend half as much for the Napanook and be just as happy? Maybe. It will be interesting to try them both side by side over the next couple years to see how each evolves.

Tor rarely disappoints. This Howell Mountain cab from Cimarrosa is no exception. The baby fat has mostly shed at this point. The tannins are fine and well integrated. The classic Howell Mountain notes of forest floor and earthiness are prevalent but not overpowering. Just a lovely wine that got better over the evening. If you have some, I encourage you to open one up. It’s singing right now.
