Dunn Vineyards
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
One of the best bottles I have ever had of the 1985. Dark, dense, rich and incredibly young for its age. Magnificent!

Needed 2 hours in a decanter. Cassis, cedar, leather. A great CA cab

Jan 1st, 2016Got better and better as it opened up. Blackberry, roses, herbs. Just delicious. Proof Napa Cab can age like Bordeaux.

Nov 5th, 2014Bottle of the Night: Cigar, brambly dark fruit, full midpalate, long finish. THIS is what Napa Cabernet with age can do.

May 1st, 2013Structured and tannic with a green, herbal note, this is drinking well, but not quite as nice as the previous 2 wines.
