Owner and winemaker of the famous Dominus Estate in Napa Valley and Chateau Petrus in Pomerol, Christian Moueix produces classic Napa Cabernets. Napanook is a historic vineyard that dates back to 1836, is located at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains in Yountville, Napa Valley.
The Napanook wine is blended from blocks in the eponymous vineyard that were carefully selected for their lively fruit, soft tannins and early maturing characteristics. It's a classic, balanced, medium to full bodied wine with round, creamy tannins and medium + acidity. The smooth palate resonates with black plum, and black currant flavors together with iron, mushrooms, sage, bay leaf., crushed stones, blackberry , licorice, and a touch of oak. Pair it with a grilled, well-marbled NY Strip steak.
