Within two years, Christian Moueix will have replanted all the vines of the historic Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, mostly to cabernet sauvignon. The malbec is now gone, and little merlot remains. Mouiex, who was in NapaValley at the time of my visit, noted that production in 2008 was the smallest ever, due partly to the very dry and erratic growing season but also to the fact that the property is now at the low point of production due to the replanting program. Moueix views the 2006 Dominus as a powerful wine but with suave tannins, while 2007 shows the "finer side of the vintage." The 2008 vintage is actually higher in polyphenols than 2007, said winemaker Tod Mostero, "but the tannins are soft and round, as we are now using much less press wine." Incidentally, Moueix recently purchased the Schmidt Ranch property a mile north of Dominus and will offer a new cabernet-based wine from the 2009 vintage.

Winemaker Ted Mostero described the 2006 growing season as presenting "an almost ideal profile": cold, wet weather in early spring; a late budbreak; a very hot July featuring ten days with temperatures over 100degrees; and then a mild August and September. "We don't irrigate, and the conditions in 2006 were perfect for dry farming," he told me. "Those who watered their vines in July could have caused the berries to expand." The summer of 2007 also featured a relatively cool July and August, Mostero went on, but then a heat spike began on August 29, and there was another period of heat toward the end of September that helped to finish off the ripening process. Incidentally, Dominus began using a Mistral sorting machine in 2007 to eliminate dried berries at harvest-time.
