Dunn Vineyards
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Takes the reins as best ever Dunn Cabernet for me…needed 45 mins out of Magnum, nose all Bordeaux of cedar and cigar box with a touch of cassis. Velvety palate, layers of red cherry and chocolate espresso bean, long, long finish. Find and drink now if you can.

Nov 26th, 2015Wow 1997 Howell Mtn Dunn out of a Magnum brought by Dave N! Thanks Big time. Getting a chance to drink 18 plus year old wine! What a treat. Tannins have mellowed, fruit is still kicking! Great mouthfeel. Awesome Experience! Monday Night Wine Group Dinner

Sep 24th, 2014Very enjoyable. Decanted. Could easily go another 10+ years. Tannins not fully resolved. Preferred to Insignia of same vintage consumed side by side.
