Smoking Mountain

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1992

Enjoyed alongside some other Napa legends from the 80’s and 90’s. This was stunning and to my palate, on this night, seemed to show the best of the Napa flight. The 1992 shows classic Dunn Howell with ample dark and red fruits, tobacco, earth, leather and fine baking spices. Stout structure. Everything in beautiful balance. Drink now with unmitigated glee and through 2042 because just like Barry, this has Staying Power. — 16 days ago

Cade

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. A continuation of the Cade HM style. Everything in its right place. Everything in its right place. Light-medium body. That centralized light-saber of pure fruit/tannins balance throughout...so good. One of the few Napa cabs you can absolutely enjoy that doesn't enslave you or your palate to continued heavy wines should you desire to "backtrack" to pinot noir. 10.30.24. — 18 days ago

Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. Retasting after a week (9.3), Gorgeous entry palate with medium body. Pretty start and continued beauty for the duration of the motion picture show. Fine-grained tannins rarely far from the action but never intrusive. 10.22.24. — a month ago
