Dunn Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Fresh mineral (!), green pepper, cassis and lead on the nose, bit of smoke from wood and sap to the fruit - but otherwise more bordeaux than many bordeaux in 2010! Nice cigar note, plenty fresh on palate, again a dash sappy, medium length and full weight. Very lively for napa, no alcohol or wood on finish, excellent for a cali cab but still doesn't quite have $100 concentration in my books. Nevertheless, one of my favorites from the golden state... 2010 vintage.

Mar 1st, 2015Super steady and stern. Will be killer in a decade. God bless Dunn wines for their painfully unapologetic focus of the RULES of wine making. This wine breaks none of them. It sets them.

Dec 3rd, 20131hr+ decant. Dark red color with slight browning on the edges. Nose was rustic and refined. Cherries and subtle bell peppers. High quality with a medium finish. Dunn and I just click!

Sep 4th, 2018A disappointing bottle. Olive tapenade, leather, herbs and some cherry fruit. Lacks depth and structure of a Dunn Cabernet. I fear and hope this is NOT a representative bottle.
