Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Dec 25
Dunn's 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a gorgeous wine to open this dinner. In the zone today, the 1999 offers up a beguiling array of tobacco, cedar, licorice, menthol, plum and dark cherry fruit. There’s plenty of explosive energy and mountain structure to ensure many years of fine drinking.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 23 Dec 00
Dunn's normal policy is to select the Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from his barrels right before bottling. Hence what I tasted was a trial blend of this wine. This year produced extremely small crops characterized by extremely cool growing seasons as well as unusually late harvests. Dunn dropped 30% of the crop in order to guarantee ripeness in his vineyard. There is no astringent tannin or vegetal characteristic to be found in this full-bodied, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon.
