Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2000

The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of pure cassis and blackberries with flinty notions in the background. Full-bodied, powerful, tannic, pure and backward, it needs another 8-10 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035+.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, December 2000

Saturated ruby. Brooding aromas of blueberry, blackberry, dark chocolate, licorice and meat; showed more sweetness with aeration. Juicy, intensely flavored and quite penetrating, with brisk flavors of crystallized black and red fruit firmed by strong acids. Rather folded in on itself today and not showing its density. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and sneaky sweetness. 89+

Wine Spectator, October 2000

Sharply focused, with a pretty beam of plum, currant and black cherry flavors, framed by spicy, cedary oak and finishing with dry tannins. Best from 2002 through 2012. -JL

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.
