Christian Moueix is the current proprietor of the Napanook Vineyard, which is nestled in a natural amphitheater at the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains. The first site to be planted to vines in 1838 by George Yount, it is widely considered to have the perfect terroir, with underground springs nourished by the winter rains that make the roots dig deep for hydration, well-drained, gravelly, clay-loam soils, and abundant sunshine. Christian and his winemaker Tod Mostero farm organically and take a non-interventionist approach to their craft; the results are always spectacular.

"One of the legendary Dominus, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is unquestionably in the same league as the 2018, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2010, and 1991, and to my mind, wine simply doesn't get any better. Sporting a dense purple hue as well as an incredible perfume of blackcurrants, crushed stone, cedar pencil, smoke, tobacco, and baking spices, it is rich, full-bodied, and voluptuously textured, with ripe yet building tannins. It reminds me slightly of the 2010 (maybe the 2013), and I suspect it will have a similar evolution. Hide bottles for 7-8 years, and it will evolve gracefully for 30+ years. Hats off to the team of Christian Moueix and director Tod Mostero." (12/26/23)

"The purity of the cabernet fruit is so enticing, with blackcurrant, rose petals, nettles, and subtle graphite. Touches of terra cotta and licorice. Full-bodied with super integrated tannins that are wonderfully polished, giving a cashmere texture that is really luxurious to taste at this early stage. It is quenching and so delicious already. 95% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. Needs three to four years to come around but already a joy to taste." (3/6/24)
