DUNN HOWELL MOUNTAIN and NAPA VERTICAL
1 – 750 ml bottles each – 12 bottles total
Dunn Howell Mountain 1990
The massive 1990 Howell Mountain exhibits huge tannin, but immense concentration. It does possess a tell-tale mineral, cassis, flowery nose, and a rich, full-bodied, dense, highly extracted, tannic personality. RP 96
Dunn Howell Mountain 1991
This wine is thick and highly extracted. It is a huge, rich, powerful wine with great depth. RP 93
Dunn Howell Mountain 1992
This wine is massive and rich, sweet, expansive and chewy. RP 97
Dunn Howell Mountain 1993
This wine reveals an opaque black color, huge tannin, terrific purity, and density, a broad, heavyweight mouthfeel, and gobs of ripe tannin. It is a massive Cabernet Sauvignon. RP 95
Dunn Howell Mountain 1994
This black/purple-colored wine adds a few more nuances (minerals, licorice, and floral scents) to the lavish display of creme de cassis. Full-bodied, with a blockbuster level of extract and density, this is an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon for folks with patience, good genes for longevity, or the foresight to purchase it for their children. RP 96
Dunn Howell Mountain 1995
The wine possesses mineral-tinged blackberry and cassis fruit, massive body, and extraordinary purity and length. RP 96
Dunn Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 1990
This wine is opaque, awesomely concentrated and tannic. RP 93
Dunn Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 1991
This wine possesses Dunn’s wonderfully pure, rich, blackcurrant flavors, as well as length, intensity, and full body. RP 91
Dunn Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 1992
What makes the 1992 California Cabernet Sauvignon vintage so incredible is that one of its hallmarks is the voluptuous, opulent, and succulent nature of the fruit. In Dunn’s offerings, that translates into wines that are massive and rich, but with sweeter, more expansive, chewy mid-palates. RP 94
Dunn Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 1993
This offering exhibits a black/purple color, and a sweet nose of cassis, vanillin, and violet/mineral character. Sweet on the attack, with superb concentration and purity, this formidably endowed, full-bodied wine. They are black/purple-colored wines, with similar levels of sweet, cassis, mineral-tinged fruit, full body, and blockbuster levels of extract and tannin. It is no crime to drink them young, since they are well-balanced, and the fruit is ripe, concentrated, and sweet. RP 93
Dunn Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 1994
This wine reveals an opaque purple color, followed by a sweet, rich, black currant and creme de cassis-scented nose with no evidence of oak. This fruit bomb displays considerable breadth and expansiveness on the palate, in essence revealing only two dimensions – fruit and tannin. RP 94
Dunn Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
The saturated black/purple-colored Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a promising nose of minerals, lead pencil, and blackberries/cassis. This mammoth offering displays extraordinary concentration and purity, as well as a thick, unctuous texture with high tannin level. RP 94
