Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2000

The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain possesses a black/blue/purple color, and a texture of unctuosity and thickness. Greatness is suggested by a wonderfully sweet mid-section, gorgeous purity, and this humongous wine's overall symmetry. It also possesses sumptuous layers of concentration, remarkably sweet tannin, low acidity, and a 40+ second finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2040.

Ruby-red. More floral, aromatic nose of cassis, tobacco and loam. Lush and sweet in the mouth; more silky and voluptuous than the Napa bottling. Here the tannins seem a bit sweeter and finer. These '96s seem less backward than many recent vintages of Dunn cabernet, which have a track record for developing very slowly in bottle.

About Winery

Randy Dunn is a celebrated maker of heirloom California Cabernets.  Dunn began his career with Caymus Winery where he produced some of Caymus' most distinguished Cabernets. He purchased his own land in Howell Mountain in 1979 and he currently produces about 5,000 cases of his Howell Mountain Cabernets. They also produce a second label from the surrounding Napa Valley appellations and he acquires the grapes for this wine from John Caldwell's vineyard. Dunn devotes himself to his property and to the Dunn label but still remains one of the valley's most esteemed consultants.  He has been extremely influential on the stylistic development of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
