Collector Note
Tax-and-shipping-included pricing variant — same physical wine as the batch-04 parent (SKU 45800-36). This handle confirms the 2020 vintage (the parent's handle said 2022 but title showed 2020 — data inconsistency flagged separately). 2020 was the wildfire smoke Napa vintage — verify Dominus's smoke-taint profile and release status before publishing.
Mood
Cellar-building, reverent, vertical, classical
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this the same wine as the batch-04 Dominus PDP?
A: Same SKU (45800-36), same wine, same vintage (2020). The batch-04 parent handle had '2022' in the slug but title '2020' — that handle/title mismatch should be fixed in Shopify. This tax-included variant confirms the wine's actual 2020 vintage.
Q: How does the 2020 fit alongside Dominus 1998 and 2021?
A: Three different drinking-window registers: 1998 is library-mature, drinking now; 2020 is cellar-building, 5–10 years out; 2021 is current-release cellar tier. Three eras of Dominus — textbook vertical setup.
Q: Was 2020 affected by Napa wildfires?
A: Yes — 2020 was the wildfire smoke vintage in Napa. Some producers declassified or skipped releases. Verify Dominus's 2020 release notes and smoke-taint profile before publishing this PDP.
