The '13 vintage was a boon to the entire west-coast, and the Dominio "Love Lies Bleeding" makes that clear from sip numero uno. Even from the first glass (sans decant) the "Love Lies Bleeding" gently wraps its way around the palate with a delightfully soft approach that's backed with a real substance of juicy cherry and extremely fine tannins to frame it.
Between the subtlety and softness of the nose and the vibrant fruit that's un-wrapped right upon touching the tongue- I would have been fooled into thinking this an example of something from California if poured blind.

Floral and cherry on the nose. Ripe, lush, and heady.

Decidedly dark fruit lends a plushness to this wine. Quite delicious but at 14.4% alcohol, almost a little hot. Chocolatey notes come out later and lead to a nice smokey, peppery finish.

Phenomenal wine made better by the phenomenal company & food. Found at Sono Wood Fired, this wine was just so perfectly juicy, full-bodied with an incredibly pleasant short finish. Happy 30th Germ.
