Dominus Estate Othello Vintage 2012 Riedel

Dominus Estate Othello Vintage 2012 RiedelChristian Moueix, of Pomerol's Chateau Petrus, first saw the Napnook vineyard in 1981 and was convinced he could create a world class wine. Dominus certainly became a California cult wine. He also created Napnook and this wine Othello at a fraction of the price of Dominos. 2012 vintage was very good for the Napa Valley wines. Typical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot. 75cl bottle. Abv 14% Bottle condition excellent.

The finish is extraordinarily long

the Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon

delivering warmth and a subtle spicy lift

Damn this is goooood
