Dunn Vineyards

Dunn’s 2019 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is strikingly approachable when compared to renditions from decades past. The bouquet shows aromas of bright cherry, blackberry, cassis, roses, currant leaf, and baking spice. As is typical for Dunn’s wines, the alcohol is moderate, sitting at 13.9% abv. The fruit carries through on the palate, as fine grained tannins and lifted acidity fade to a lingering chocolate finish.

Dark ruby colour, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Black fruit, intense nuances of blackberries and cassis, sweet precious wood, nuances of mint and orange zest, some nougat, dried herbs. Complex, full-bodied, pronounced in fruit body, silky tannins, fresh acid structure, black berries on the finish, already very accessible, the epitome of a Californian red wine.
