2023, Othello, Jean-Pierre Moueix, NAPA VALLEY
The 2023 is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc.
A fantastic introduction to Napa and the Dominus style.
Plum, red currant, cedar, sandalwood, spice and stone aromas follow through to a medium body with a solid core of fruit and dried oranges and pure fruit at the end. Juicy, savoury and framed finish. Drink now.

The third wine of this great estate (and made in reasonable quantities), the 2023 Othello is a pretty, Bordeaux-like effort with juicy black cherry, leather, and tobacco notes in a medium-bodied, charming, deliciously balanced, satisfying style. Best enjoyed over the coming 7-8 years. Drink 2025-2033.
97 Jeb Dunnuck.
The 2023 Othello is a tasty entry-level bottling from the front blocks on the property, those on either side of Hopper Creek. Juicy dark red fruit, cinnamon, new leather and cedar are pushed forward in this delicious, effortless Cabernet Sauvignon. Best of all, this should be a fabulous value, too. 2026-2035.
