Dominus Estate Christian Moueix Red Wine - 14.5% 75cl

The Dominus Estate Christian Moueix Red Blend 2009 exemplifies the finest qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon from an ideal vintage.

The 2009 vintage is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot.

2009 was characterized by an ideal season. Plentiful rainfall in February and May abated winter drought concerns, and a mild spring with few temperature fluctuations contributed to even bud break and healthy bloom.

Summer temperatures were consistently warm, without excessive heat spikes, and a long Indian summer allowed the berries to develop perfect complexity and ripeness. Harvest was an intense effort, beginning on October 5^th and was completed on October 12^th, just before the heavy rainfall on October 13^th.

The nose, at once powerful yet restrained, is dense and filled with pure dark berry fruit and hints of sandalwood. On the palate is a harmonious blend of fresh plum and focused minerality with tannins that are firm, round and elegant. Spherical in quality, this wine is complete from start to finish.
