Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
#DUN07CS3 | 750mL
Randy Dunn, long considered the winemaker producing wines with major age potential, has made an '07 from his Howell Mountain vineyards that don't have to be laid down for as long as some of his earlier vintages. While still showing the age-worthy potential of his Howell Mountain fruit, this offering reveals more opulence and richness in fruit than any other bottling he's ever made. This doesn't have to be laid down for 10-20 years like past vintages; it can even be enjoyed now if you decant it for a few hours. But like his past few vintages, time will only make this wine show better. - Kerrin Laz, Wine Director
Vintner's Perspective
Muscular Cabernet that will need four or five years to peak. Concentrated fruit has brawny tannic structure, Cedar, vanilla and dark chocolate from toasty oak will integrate with bottle age. There's noteworthy intensity and focus to the flavors, then the structure amps up in the finish. Has outstanding length and pervasive earthiness and minerality. Try this in 2015 and cellar it with confidence until at least 2025.
