In the late 1960s, while studying at the university of California at Davis, Christian Moueix fell in love with the Napa Valley and its wines. In 1981, he discovered the historic Napanook Vineyard, a 124 acre site which provided fruit for some of the finest Napa wines of the 1940s and 1950s. In 1982, Moueix entered into a partnership to develop the vineyard and, in 1995, became its sole owner. The name Dominus, ‘Master’ in Latin, may have been ambitious but turned out to be wholly justified!
"From Christian Moueix's Dominus Estate in Napa, of which we can never get enough. Refined Californian Cabernet, with a nod towards Bordeaux."
The sunshine state of California is home to some of the world’s highest quality wines, often from small, family-owned wineries in vineyard areas cooled by Pacific breezes
