Domenico 2006 Aglianico (Amador County)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This Amador Aglianico tastes of intense black cherry and dusty coffee. It exhibits all the qualities of a mature wine, with firm, dry tannins and flavors of black olive and pepper, especially on the finish. Pair it with heavy, meaty dishes cooked with vegetables.

Domenico 2004 Syrah (Amador County)
- $30
Soft and fairly sweet in what tastes like residual sugar, this wine has blackberry, cola, clove and vanilla flavors. Everything about it is nice, except that sugary finish. The alcohol level isn’t really a problem in terms of balance.

Domenico 2004 Cabernet Franc (Amador County)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
High in alcohol, frankly sweet, this wine was a victim of the excessive heat of this record hot vintage. Too bad, because the cherry flavors and polished tannins are really nice.

Domenico 2004 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Drinks too hot for balance at the table, a dry wine with a jalapeño pepper edge to the blackberry jam and mocha flavors. It’s not a bad wine, but this was a very hot vintage and things evidently got out of control.

Domenico 2007 Primitivo (Amador County)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Thick and heavy, this is Port-like in its toffee and raisin aromas, with a trace of licorice in the background. Its syrupy consistency almost expresses an air of oxidation.

Domenico 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $35
A Bordeaux blend with all five varieties. The vineyard is in the cooler Oak Knoll region. But coolness is relative; the vintage was blazingly hot everywhere, and the wine is almost Porty.
