Othello 2018, Dominus Estate Napa Valley

Othello 2018 is de derde wijn van Dominus Estate, gemaakt om de klasse van het historische Napanook-terroir in een vroeg drinkbare, toegankelijke stijl te laten proeven. Wat voor wijn is Othello 2018 precies? Het is een Bordeaux-blend uit Napa Valley, met Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot en Cabernet Franc van de Napanook-wijngaard, opgevoed in Frans eiken en afkomstig uit de geroemde 2018-oogst. De stijl is sappig en verfijnd, met rijp rood en zwart fruit, een koele signatuur en de kenmerkende precisie van eigenaar-wijnmaker Christian Moueix, bekend van onder meer Pétrus in Bordeaux.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Othello 2018 komen volledig uit de Napanook-wijngaard bij Yountville, in het hart van Napa Valley. Deze wijngaard geldt als een van de bakermatten van Napa: hier plantte George Yount al in de 19e eeuw de eerste stokken van de vallei, en in de jaren 40 en 50 leverde Napanook het fruit voor enkele legendarische Inglenook-jaargangen. De 42 hectare zijn opgedeeld in percelen met vooral kiezelrijke en leem-kleigronden, die Cabernet-druiven kracht én finesse geven.

Dominus werkt hier met dry-farming: de stokken worden niet geïrrigeerd, zodat de wortels diep de arme bodem in moeten en geconcentreerd fruit geven met een natuurlijke balans. De ligging in de relatief koele Yountville AVA zorgt voor een lange rijpingstijd, waarbij de druiven hun aromatische complexiteit opbouwen zonder overrijp te worden.

Vinificatie en rijping

Othello 2018 profiteert volledig van de bijna ideale omstandigheden van de Napa-oogst 2018, een lang en gelijkmatig groeiseizoen zonder extreme hitte, dat wereldwijd wordt geroemd om zijn balans en verfijning. De oogst gebeurt volledig met de hand, in meerdere rondes; de zonzijde van de tros wordt een paar dagen eerder geplukt dan de schaduwzijde, zodat elke druif op optimale rijpheid wordt binnengehaald.

Na aankomst in de kelder worden de trossen streng geselecteerd via handmatige en optische sortering. De vergisting vindt plaats met een zachte extractie en voorzichtige overstortingen, gericht op fijne tannines in plaats van brute kracht. De wijn rijpt vervolgens 14 maanden in Franse eikenhouten barriques, wat structuur en subtiele tonen van ceder en specerijen geeft, zonder het fruit te overheersen. Het alcoholpercentage ligt rond 14,5%, passend bij de rijpe maar koele signatuur van 2018.

Druivensamenstelling

Cabernet Sauvignon – Napanook-wijngaard
In Othello 2018 speelt Cabernet Sauvignon de hoofdrol met ongeveer 85% van de blend. Deze druif geeft de wijn zijn ruggengraat: donkere cassis- en zwartebessenaroma’s, lengte en de diepe, maar toch sierlijke structuur die zo typisch is voor Dominus.

Petit Verdot – Napanook-wijngaard
Petit Verdot vormt een klein maar belangrijk deel van de assemblage, rond 6%. Deze laatrijpe Bordeaux-druif voegt kleur, spanning en een kruidige toets toe, met extra grip in de afdronk en een vleugje florale en peperige nuance.

Cabernet Franc – Napanook-wijngaard
Cabernet Franc maakt de blend af met ongeveer 9%. Hij zorgt voor verfijning en aromatische complexiteit: denk aan frisse rode vruchtjes, een vleugje kruiden en een luchtige toets die de concentratie van de Cabernet Sauvignon mooi in balans brengt.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Othello 2018 opent met heldere aroma’s van cassis, wilde framboos en rijp rood fruit, aangevuld met subtiele tonen van bittere chocolade en peperige specerijen. In de mond is de wijn vol maar opvallend soepel, met een dichte kern van zwarte bessen, frisse zuren en zijdezachte tannines die het glas zowel krachtig als elegant maken. De invloed van Frans eiken geeft nuances van cederhout en een licht rokerige toets, mooi geïntegreerd in het fruit.

Bij tafel combineert Othello 2018 uitstekend met rijke vleesgerechten zoals rundvlees van de grill, stoofschotels met rund of lam en mild wild, maar ook met harde, niet te uitgesproken kazen. Serveer hem idealiter rond 16–18 °C en geef jonge flessen een uur in de karaf, zodat de aroma’s volledig openkomen en de structuur mooi afrondt.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.
