Critic tasting note: "Blending 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, this delicious wine opens with an enticing perfume packed with chocolate, coffee bean, blackberries and truffle. On the palate, the wine is soft, silky, plush and structured to age. With so much ripe, juicy fruit, you can drink this now, or give it another 5 years. The wine was aged in 40% new, French oak for 16 months. 95 Points" - 95/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

- Vineyard Notes
-
We produce wines that reflect the purity, complexity and character of grapes grown exclusively from the Napanook vineyard. This unique provenance qualifies our wines as estate-bottled, a rarely found designation. The character of a wine is defined by the grapes at harvest.

- Vintage Notes
-
The 2006 growing season started late; bud-break was delayed by very wet and cold weather throughout winter and early spring. An exceptionally hot mid-summer season helped accelerate growth. By the end of July, when temperatures soared over 100°F on eight days, the vines had entered into a more typical cycle. Beautiful weather followed in August, with characteristic warm days and cool nights. Mid-veraison was observed on August 8. Mild temperatures throughout the months of September and October allowed for increased hang-time and favoured perfect ripening.

- Winemaking
-
With our extensive efforts in the vineyard, once we have the grapes in hand, our winemaking practice is minimalist: Thorough cluster sorting by hand. Optical sorting of berries. Gentle pump-overs delicately extract aromas, color, tannin, and reveal the personality of each lot. Hand-racking barrel to barrel every three months using the esquive.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Dominus 2006 is dark red, almost deep crimson in color. The nose is dense and compact, filled with dark berries, blond tobacco, black cherries and cacao. The entry is both powerful and supple, spherical in quality. Perfectly ripe, the enveloped tannins are firm, round and elegant. Black fruit and licorice linger throughout the evolution in mouth, well-balanced and harmonious.

Blending 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, this delicious wine opens with an enticing perfume packed with chocolate, coffee bean, blackberries and truffle. On the palate, the wine is soft, silky, plush and structured to age. With so much ripe, juicy fruit, you can drink this now, or give it another 5 years. The wine was aged in 40% new, French oak for 16 months. 95 Points
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2011
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, zarter Wasserrand. Feine Kräuterwürze, dunkle Beerenfrucht, Anklänge von Weichselkirschen und Nougat. Stoffig, schokoladige Textur, feine Tannine, Brombeerkonfit im Abgang, ein echter Vin de Garde, sehr gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2009
Unless you knew that this was Dominus and had tasted older vintages, you might not be impressed. In its youth the wine is tannic and dry and linear. However, it is Dominus and it does need cellaring. Right now it shows blackberry, black currant, cedar and baker's chocolate flavors. Will slowly open and reach maturity after 2011, and could easily develop for far longer.
