Available at Fareham Wine Cellar, Othello is an approachable, beautifully structured Napa Valley red created by legendary French winemaker Christian Moueix. This Californian red wine is produced at the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville, and offers the finesse of a classic Bordeaux blend with the generosity and radiance of California’s finest terroir. Expressive and enjoyable in its youth, Othello delivers generous red fruit aromas, silky tannins, and a beautifully bright finish.
Christian Moueix is a French winemaker who has been the president of the négociant house Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1991. Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix is known for its top Bordeaux estates, including Châteaux Bélair-Monange, La Fleur-Pétrus and Trotanoy et al. Meanwhile, Christian Moueix is also known for his work in Napa, where he founded Dominus Estate.
The Dominus Estate is located in Yountville, California, and was established in 1983. It is situated on the famed Napanook vineyard, which, in the 1940’s and 1950’s, was the source of fruit for some of the finest Napa Valley wines. As well as the flagship Dominus, the 42-hectare estate also produces Napanook and this wine, Othello.
In 2021, Dominus Estate received its CCOF («California Certified Organic Farmers») certification for organic farming practices.
Moueix Othello displays a complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with elegant notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, the Othello reveals its true character with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. The black fruit flavors persist, accompanied by a touch of dark chocolate and a hint of espresso, adding depth and complexity to the wine. There is a seamless balance between fruit, oak, and acidity. The finish is long and lingering.
An incredible pairing for prime beef cuts, roast lamb, duck breast with berry reduction, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C.
Decanting is recommended to allow the wine to open up fully.
