DUNN VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON HOWELL MOUNTAIN 2002 (2)Napa Valley.
DUNN VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON HOWELL MOUNTAIN 2003 (2)
Napa Valley.
Rich with surprisingly soft tannin, this dense plum/ruby/purple-colored 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits lots of briary mountain fruit, blackberries, blueberries and cassis, outstanding purity, full-bodied power and nicely integrated tannin. There is no evidence of toasty oak to be found in this beauty from Randy Dunn. Drink it now or cellar it for 15+ years. It finished at 13.8% natural alcohol. 95 WA
DUNN VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON HOWELL MOUNTAIN 2004 (2)
Napa Valley.
Reticent but promising blackberry and black currant fruit as well as licorice aromas jump from the glass of this inky/purple-colored 2004. Rich and broad with sweeter tannins than one expects in a ten-year-old Dunn Cabernet, it reveals impressive richness, power and purity, but is still an adolescent in terms of its evolution. Slightly more evolved than the Dunn Cabernets of the early and mid-1980s, it can be drunk now or cellared for another 20-25 years. 94 WA
