Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2017

Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California Vinous 97 points! Wine Spectator 95 points! 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 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is sure to make Dunn fans happy. Powerful and ample, it marries the natural intensity of the year with the savoriness that makes Howell Mountain Cabernets so distinctive. Dark blue/purplish fruit, graphite, spice, leather, dried herbs and lavender imbue the 2017 with striking intensity and character. I can't wait to see how it ages. The 2017 is a positively stunning edition of the Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.”--(AG), Vinous, 97 points! “Fresh ripe cassis, blackberry and plum fruit flavors course through, carried by tar and apple wood notes that are well-embedded, giving this a muscular but sleek feel. Features a great tug of dark earth and licorice snap on the palate-staining finish. Best from 2023 through 2038. 2,700 cases made." — JM, Wine Spectator, 95 points!
