Tasting Notes

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon simply brilliant. It instantly begins to impress as it exudes sheer class and a Margaux-like profile that displays gorgeous aromatics of fresh dark currants, black cherries, exotic spices, dark florals, graphite, tobacco all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this showcases a full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel, with a marvelous combination of both power and finesse. It goes on to impress with its remarkable overall balance and structure while demonstrating excellent concentration through the beautifully polished finish. The 2019 is showing beautifully today and will be accessible on release, however it should also easily cruise in the cellar for years to come."

The Producer

Dunn Vineyards

If there was even an iconic, Napa Valley Cabernet producer, Dunn Vineyards would certainly be on everyone’s short list! At Dunn Vineyards, the classic, rich, muscular Cabernet Sauvignons that built the reputation of Napa Valley in its “golden age” in the 60’s and 70’s are still the norm (and never changed!). The history of the winery dates back to 1978 when Randy and Lori Dunn purchased a 14-acre parcel in Angwin planted to 5 acres of Cabernet vines. At the time, Randy was working full-time as a winemaker in Rutherford. In the evenings and on weekends, Randy, Lori, and a young Mike Dunn tended the vines. Later that same year, Randy agreed to both farm and buy the fruit from Harry Frank's adjoining property along with an additional 3 tons from the Beatty Ranch. And from that, the inaugural vintage of Dunn Vineyards Cabernet was launched in 1979!

Today, the Dunn family farms 42 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon on Howell Mountain. Since 1979, they have done their best to care for these vines and produce a wine that tastes like Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. They continue to be hands-on in the vineyard, on the crush pad, and in the cellar.

The Dunn wines have an amazing track record for aging. In general, the Napa bottling can drink well on release, but will really start strutting its stuff after 3-4 years, and age gracefully for 15-20 years easily in most vintages. The Howell Mountain bottling, conversely, is often more tightly wound in its youth. While drinkable with the right foods, it loves 5-7 years to start hitting its stride, and in the best vintages should be able to age 30-40+ years. In fact, most of the early Howell Mountain Cab vintages are still going strong, and some of these wines are considered some of the greatest Cabs ever produced in Napa Valley! The stuff of legends…
