I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Dunn Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1956

Still got a lot of life, so surprising! Still got some acidity, fruit and energy with a long, lean finish. Tannin is fully integrated, softened to the max, but still beautiful, dark, and deep with a gorgeous elegant mouthfeel for 40 years old. Surprising and special. — 16 days ago

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose and full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and already very complex.

Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, light earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee, cola and licorice.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Stags Leap District in Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced. Soft and smooth.

In your face kind of wine, with a teeth staining color. Bold and beautiful. The high alcohol is still noticeable, but will integrate with time.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours of airtime.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 to 20 years. Showing good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

Wine Spectator 93 points. Robert Parker 99 points. Wine Enthusiasts 97 points.
