  5. 2018 Dominus, Napa Valley
There is so much praise for 2018 Dominus that we couldn’t fit it all here. For instance, the vintage earned two perfect scores from critics, a feat only matched twice in its 40-year history.  Wine Spectator anointed 2018 Dominus the Top Wine of 2021. And, wine critic James Suckling called it, “a magic-carpet wine.”
 
In the glass, 2018 Dominus has a rich garnet hue with an intense nose of black currants, ripe plums, cedar, graphite, earth, tobacco, wildflowers, and freshly cracked black pepper. The medium to full body showcases vibrant yet integrated acids with cushy tannins and a lingering tension. Add in a perfumed finish with a minerally touch, and it’s hard to believe that 2018 Dominus has room to improve with age.  
 
The Final Sip: Don’t tell Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt, but this is as good as it gets.
