Savory aromas of mulberries, cassia bark, graphite and leather. The palate is full-bodied with silky smooth tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of blackcurrants, dried herbs and mocha. Wonderfully integrated and...

I loved the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, which I think is a step up over the 2018, although both 2019s show a much more elegant profile. Ripe currants, plums, roasted herbs, violets, and incense notes all shine in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2024

Largely Howell Mountain-derived this vintage, Dunn's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 22% of the volume coming from Coombsville. It has only 13.7% alcohol, yet it comes across as rather forward...

Vinous, February 2023

93+ The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a powerful, tannic wine. In some vintages, the Napa Valley bottling is quite accessible, but not here. Swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark fruit, gravel, spice...

The wine has garnered positive attention from professional reviewers. Antonio Galloni of Vinous awarded it a score of 93+, describing it as "a powerful, tannic wine." Galloni notes that this vintage is less accessible than others, with "swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark fruit, gravel, spice, dried flowers, lavender, and charred earth." He emphasizes that the wine is "brooding" and "potent," recommending that it needs a few years to settle, suggesting an optimal drinking window between 2024 and 2039.

Wine Spectator's James Molesworth gave the wine a score of 91, highlighting its "ripe and polished" nature. Molesworth points out the "friendly beam of warmed cassis and plum sauce flavors," which are "flanked by singed vanilla and apple wood." He also notes a "tug of tobacco on the finish," remarking that while the wine leans towards a toasty profile, it is "solidly built nevertheless." He advises that it can be enjoyed now through 2034.

Jeb Dunnuck provided the highest score among the reviewers, awarding it 94 points. Dunnuck praised the 2019 vintage as a "step up over the 2018," appreciating its "much more elegant profile." He describes the wine as a "medium to full-bodied, ripe, supple, layered beauty," with notes of "ripe currants, plums, roasted herbs, violets, and incense." Dunnuck commends its "fine tannins and a gorgeous finish," recommending that it can be enjoyed over the next 15 years.

Overall, the 2019 Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a wine characterized by its robust tannins and complex flavor profile, with excellent aging potential. Reviewers highlight its powerful structure and elegant notes, making it a noteworthy choice for Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiasts.
