The first notes on the nose are of crushed blueberries which then develop on to reveal an intriguing bitter-sweet character of crème de cassis with a touch of underlying parma violets

Dominus 2006, Napa Valley Rioja 25% Cabernet FrancVery deep garnet purple color. A wonderfully perfumed nose of violets, crushed blackberries, black cherries, mace and cloves leading into some smoked meat and mocha aromas with swirling. Very structured on the palate with high acidity, a medium to high level of fine tannins and a full body providing plenty of flesh in the mid palate. Very long layered finish. 96 Points Robert Parker Region: Napa Valley, California, USA Grape Varietals: 88% Cabernet
