Wine from Friuli
Filter
The majority of vineyards in the Friuli wine region in Italy are located in the southern half of the region. The region is bordered by the Alps, which separates it from Austria. Slovenia borders Friuli on the east. The northern part of the region is very mountainous giving way to plains and flatter terrain as it makes its way to the sea. Friuli enjoys chilly nights, and very warm days that help to maintain the balance in the grapes sugar and acidity levels. This allows for a long and slow grape growing season. During the summer, the average temperature is 73° with harvest taking place in September. The soils in Friuli vary from sand, clay and gravel in the valleys to flysch sandstone and calcium rich marl in the mountainous regions.
White wine dominates the region, although 40% is red with Merlot being the most predominant red wine grape. During the 1960’s, winemakers pioneered white winemaking in Italy making it easier to remove the juice from the grape skins. The majority of Friuli wines is in varietal form and requires wine to be produced using 100% of one grape.
The philosophy of the winemakers in Friuli is to bring out the flavor and acidity of the grapes without masking the fruitiness with oak.

Henschke Henry's Seven Red Blend is made from 72% Shiraz, 13% Grenache, 12% Mataro, 3% Viognier.
20th ANNIVERSARY VINTAGE
Deep ruby with violet hues. Lifted raspberry, red currant, mulberry and Satsuma plum, with floral notes of violets, lavender, crushed flowering herbs and anise, pepper and mace spice. A rich and intense palate of well defined, concentrated red fruits; red currant, cut plum and spicy wild berries, give way to crunchy mid palate, firm-edged velvety tannins and excellent length.
Review:
Aromas of black fruit and green tobacco with bark and wet-earth undertones, following through to a medium to full body, creamy tannins and a juicy, savory finish. Intense and balanced.

Dominus Napa Valley Red Blend is made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot.
The historic Napanook Vineyard, a 124-acre site west of Yountville, was planted in 1838. This vineyard was the source of fruit for some of the finest Napa Valley wines. Estate-bottled in the spirit of the Bordeaux châteaux, Dominus Estate is dry-farmed to allow natural stress and good concentration of fruit. Grape clusters are crop-thinned to allow sun and air to pass in between, helping to achieve full maturation and soften the tannins. Only 20% to 40% new French oak barrels are used in order to limit the extraction of oak notes. To express the unique terroir, the classic Bordeaux grape varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are planted with different root stocks best suited for the varying soil composition of gravel, heavy clay and loam.
Reviews:
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 s 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.
