2009 Dominus Napa Valley Red Blend 

97+pts(WA)The 2009 Dominus flows from the glass with layers of highly expressive fruit. The wine possesses stunning richness, power and depth. Dark red fruit, tobacco, flowers and spices are woven into a seamless, beautifully articulated finish. Elegance and intensity are in perfect harmony here. This is a thrilling wine from Dominus. The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. Antonio Galloni Robert Parker'sWine Advocate # 198 Dec 2011 

95pts(IWC)(blended with 10% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot):  Good ruby-red color, more saturated than the Napanook.  Knockout floral lift to the aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, blond tobacco, almond and mint.  Suave, savory and extremely precise, with penetrating flavors of dark berries, licorice, minerals and cocoa powder.  The petit verdot component acts as an amplifier of aromas and flavors, notes winemaker Tod Mostero, "like a good seasoning."  Medicinal in a Bordeaux way.  The finishes shows outstanding length, noteworthy juiciness, and firm, noble tannins.  A great vintage for Dominus. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar May 2012
