About Napanook
p>Napanook Vineyard has been the oldest and greatest source of fruit for the finest Napa Valley wines since the 1940s and 1950s. In 1982 Christian Moueix, better known for his work in Pomerol with family-owned properties like, Petrus, Trotanoy and La Fleur Petrus, fell in love with Napa and began to farm and redevelop the Napanook Vineyard.Together with Dominus winemaker Tod Mostero, owner Christian Moueix produce two wines that both reflects the two sides of this historical terroir. On the southern side of Napanook vineyards, the grapes ripen three to five days before the northern side. They produce a wine that is expressive and full of red berry aromas and that gives the Napanook cuvée. The fruits on the northern side will turn into a wine that is more mysterious, with more aromas of dark berries; this is the iconic Dominus wine.

(12x75cl) 2012James Suckling (95)
This is shows wonderful aromas of tar, asphalt, wet earth and pure cherries. Full-bodied yet soft and velvety with a fine, dusty texture to the finish. Fresh and austere. Dignified. This has no cabernet franc in it this year; normally there is 3% to 5%. It’s 95% cabernet sauvignon and 5% petit verdot. Drink or hold.保税价格￥ 6,930.00 -

The 2017 Napanook is forward, lush and quite giving - in other words, very much in keeping with the style of the year. Silky and radiant, with plenty of bright, red-toned fruit, the 2017 Napanook is one of the very finest Napa Valley Cabernets readers will find in this price range. Savory, earthy and licorice undertones add striking shades of nuance, with silky tannins that extend the finish effortlessly. This is such a gorgeous and inviting wine. When just opened, the 2017 mostly offers density and opulence, but a few hours of air brings out layers of subtlety and aromatic nuance.保税价格￥ 2,975.00 -

The 2018 Napanook is every bit the charmer it was last year. Succulent and racy out of the glass, the 2018 is such a gorgeous wine. Silky tannins and generous fruit give the 2018 so much immediacy and appeal. Black cherry, plum, menthol, spice and licorice are pushed forward.保税价格￥ 2,560.00 -
(3x150cl) 2019James Suckling (96)
An open and beautiful wine with green-olive and currant aromas and flavors. Some bark and earth, too, together with mushrooms, herbs, crushed stones and pomegranate. Medium to full body with round, creamy tannins and refined finish. Blood orange at the end. Crunchy. So drinkable now, but will age beautifully保税价格￥ 2,816.00
