Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2019

Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California Vinous 98 points! Wine Spectator 96 points--Top 100 Wines of 2023 #6! Very limited! Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 32 months in 100% new French oak, all from estate vineyards on Howell Mountain. “The mountain really determined the style of the wine. It became obvious right away that the grapes up here were much more powerful than down on the valley floor. I just made the wine itself the same way we did at Caymus, it just was a more tannic wine due to the place.”--RANDY DUNN “The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is outrageously beautiful. A wine of extraordinary purity, the 2019 dazzles right out of the gate. The tannins are nearly silky for a young Howell Mountain Cabernet. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, rose petal and pomegranate all build in this sumptuous, explosive Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2019 is one of the most elegant Cabernets I have tasted here, and that is saying something What a wine!”--(AG), Vinous, 98 points! “Lushly fruited, this sends waves of crushed plum, boysenberry compote and blackberry paste out from the core, with a strong undercurrent of cast iron and smoldering tobacco to boot. Grippy and dense, but with a sense of polish and a note of purity in the guise of a pretty violet echo. Best from 2025 through 2040. 3,750 cases made.”--(JM), Wine Spectator, 96 points!
