CRITIC REVIEWS
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The 2011 Dominus, which had the misfortunate to follow the virtually perfect 2010, is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc (5,000 cases produced). The late harvest began on October 15 and finished on October 24. This is an elegant Dominus with good opulence, a deep plum/garnet color, and notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, underbrush, red and blackcurrants, plum sauce and Asian soy. Medium to full-bodied on the attack and mid-palate, it falls off slightly in the mouth (a characteristic of the 2011 vintage). It should be fully mature in another year or two, and last for 10-12 years. It is undoubtedly a success in this challenging vintage.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 9% Petit Verdot, the 2011 Dominus is deep garnet in color. It springs from the glass with bright, youthful notes of kirsch, black raspberries, redcurrant jelly, and red roses, leading to suggestions of wild sage, damp soil, and crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is vivacious and spritely with soft, fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a red berry lift.
