title: Dominus 1997 Napanook Vyd Red (Napa Valley)
description: Aromas almost of blackberry syrup, with herb, toast and earthy, even barnyardy accents open this rich yet tart cherry-chocolate wine. Smooth and unevolved, with chocolate and orange-peel notes on the austere finish. It's the baby brother of Dominus, offering a look at the style of the estate without the price tag of the flagship offering.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Napanook Vyd
