In 1995 he purchased a section of the vineyard, and created Dominus Estate, with a mission to produce an iconic Napa Valley wine. The vineyard contains vines over 100 years old, and has contributed to some of the finest and most long-lasting wines Napa Valley has ever produced. The Estate Red is aged in oak barrels, of which 1\/3 are new, for 15 months, a serious rival to Opus One...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"super-title\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoised and vibrant; not the classic Napa Valley blockbuster, yet by no means without weight and power, the structure of the wine has allowed it to age spectacularly, resulting in a seamless integration of tannin, oak and acidity. Kirsch and blackcurrant intermingles with dried tobacco, damp earth, cocoa and cedar; the finish is silken and multi-layered, as the complexity of the palate carries through. Will happily age for another 15 years, but we recommend succumbing to the temptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"super-title\"\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeef, preferably steak, or tenderloin; the meat needs to have sufficient structure to match to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"super-title\"\u003eFRIARWOOD SAYS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecanting several hours in advance is recommended for this extremely distinctive Napa Valley wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friarwood Wines \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (75cl)","offer_id":32385674739778,"sku":"DOMIN2014NUS675","price":230.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/5643\/products\/2014-dominus-estate-6700340.jpg?v=1783342671","url":"https:\/\/www.friarwood.com\/products\/2014-dominus-estate","provider":"Friarwood Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
