2021 Napanook (bottled by Dominus)
~ (94) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 12-1-2023
This shows a lot of class, with aromas of blackcurrants, graphite, blueberries, dried flowers, black truffles and a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with seamless tannins that goes on and on. Endless. Blackcurrants, dark mushrooms and violets with hints of fresh rose stems and light herbs. Velvety texture. A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Better after 2027. ~ (97) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 2-20-2024
Medium purple in colour. Brambly with a touch of cassis. Firm tannin, fresh acid and medium weight. Persistent finish. ~ (17) Samantha Cole-Johnson, JancisRobinson.com 2-22-2024
The 2021 Napanook is one heck of a Napanook, offering complex notes of currants, cassis, graphite, leafy tobacco, lead pencil, and chocolate. Incredible on the palate, it s full-bodied and round, with supple, vibrant, incredible tannins. This is easily the finest vintage I've tasted of this cuv e and it s the equivalent of many a Grand Vin from other producers. ~ (95) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 12-26-2023
