Such a special wine made by Mike Dunn from the winery's Trailer Vyrd in 2012 and 2013 prior to replanting. It's approachable now with some decanting. #dunnvineyards — 8 years ago

Band aids, green peppers, raspberry, tobacco, very forward tannins still, lots of grip, but so good. Couple more decades of life I'm sure.

Rim to rim color density. Red and black cherries poke through cedar and sweet tobacco on the nose with dark chocolate chunks, plum, prune and date, toasted sesame, cinnamon, rose petal, and cardamom. Chewy tannins that roll satin-smooth initially, then cassis, black currant and licorice flip the script. Graphite and blackberry frame dark chocolate and mocha-tobacco, oak and black bread.

This 2000 #DunnVineyards #NapaValley #HowellMountain sub-appellation drinks wonderfully, though it easily has another 10-15 years of keeping potential. Strong palate of mostly very red strawberries and raspberries and blackcurrants, black cherries. Also whiffs of tobacco, cigar box and leather. This is a #California #Cabernet that stands out by its originality and profile, and certainly tastes better than many of its mainstream "blockbuster" brethren. — 8 years ago
The year we were married. This is great bottle. Earth, leather, tobacco and fruit. #dunnvineyards — 9 years ago
Red, resinous currant with a licorice twist. Warm blackberry, dark toast, vanilla, cedar and sweet tabac seamlessly tailored, even at such a young age. Fresh gingerbread oven, too. Silk suit of tannins; loose stitching. Wound tightly showing sinewy potential and a Christmas cactus of sutured fruits bursting at the seams with liquid graphite and black currant reduction with fresh cassis and olive berry. Violets, treacle and black tea. Onyx train of a witch bride all the way down Howell mountain! #Dunn #DunnVineyards #napacab #napacabernet #Napa #howellmountain #howell #howellmtn #mountainwine #cabernetacademy #cabernetday #cabernetsauvignon #californiaclassic — 6 years ago

1994 Dunn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Our New Year's Eve wine is 1994 Dunn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a type of wine you want to age long enough and enjoy. After 30 years, the wine is still lively showing its strength. Wow. The wine has passed its prime, but it is still enjoyable. Goodbye 2024
大晦日、2024年最後のワインは、1994 Dunn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon。これはセラーで熟成させて飲むべきワインだと思うが、30年経った後でも、力強さが残っているのには驚いた。ピークは過ぎてしまってはいるが、長い熟成期間を経たワインが持つ素晴らしさは健在で楽しむことができた。2024年よ、さようなら。
