Dunn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Fantastic new Cabernet releases from Dunn, one of Napa Valley's pioneer wineries previous vintage 95 points from Robert Parker: "The Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is one of the very finest young wines I have ever tasted from Randy Dunn. Layers of dark red fruit, blackberries, flowers, mint and licorice emerge from this seamless, large-scaled wine. This is a rich, opulent 2007 that never abandons its traditional sense of structure. All of the aromas and flavors build beautifully towards the immensely rewarding, intense, seductive finish. This is a dazzling showing from Randy Dunn. The 2007 is atypically open today. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2027."

A Napa cab I can get behind. Obviously incredibly young but shows great notes of smoked meat, black fruit and boat loads of minerality. This is 10 years from ready. Easily.

I was blown away by this. Dark purple color. Ripe blackberry and black cherry, strong cedar box, tobacco leaves, liquorice, hint of vanilla and herb, reminds me of Pauillac. Great structure and mid palate, silky, med-high tannic, very enjoyable. Some ages will promote this wine a lot but now it's drinking beautifully already. 13.9% alc. 2012 vintage

Vibrant young Cab with an old soul. Decant for 30 to 45 min and experience a true NAPA Cab. Drank extremely well with a mesquite wood smoked turkey breast and an avacado salad. Bon appetite!

Dunn 2012 Howell - this one is more round but still very dry. I think this was my favorite of the group. Needs a lot of time. 9.0+. Bought two of these

Solid, spicy, hints of currents and cherries. Perfect for our late birthday celebration.

Tons of dark fruit and vanilla. Some brighter cherry notes coming through. Fairly well integrated tannins for such a young wine. Delicious

Velvety smooth, zero bite, complex yet round in flavor. Definitely allow to breath after decanting. Paired with filets and prime rib at Prhyme

Obviously very young but made in the style of old school Napa cabs. Great depth, length and structure but very enjoyable even at this young age. Another solid effort from Dunn
