DUNN VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON HOWELL MOUNTAIN 2009 (1)
Napa Valley.
u. bn. cracked wax capsule
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain has more energy and focus than the Napa Valley bottling. Iron, graphite, red fruits, dried flowers are some of the many notes that take shape in this deep, complex, powerful wine. I imagine the 2009 will still be spectacular at age 30. For now, it needs at least another handful of years of cellaring to drink well. Huge veins of minerality support the huge fruit, giving the wine much of its pure tension and vitality. This is going to be a fascinating wine to follow over the coming decades. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. December 2012 WA 96+
DUNN VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON HOWELL MOUNTAIN 2010 (2)
Napa Valley.
2 x cracked wax capsules
The flagship wine comes from their high elevation vineyards on Howell Mountain. The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain possesses stunning minerality as well as sweet notes of ink, acacia flowers, blueberries and blackberries. Thick, unctuously textured and full-bodied with terrific concentration and density, it should drink well for two decades. October 2014 Drink: 2014-2034 WA 95
