A big spectacular cab that was decantered for hours. Tasted at Howell Mountain tasting. This one could go on for years.

Red, resinous currant with a licorice twist. Warm blackberry, dark toast, vanilla, cedar and sweet tabac seamlessly tailored, even at such a young age. Fresh gingerbread oven, too. Silk suit of tannins; loose stitching. Wound tightly showing sinewy potential and a Christmas cactus of sutured fruits bursting at the seams with liquid graphite and black currant reduction with fresh cassis and olive berry. Violets, treacle and black tea. Onyx train of a witch bride all the way down Howell mountain! #Dunn #DunnVineyards #napacab #napacabernet #Napa #howellmountain #howell #howellmtn #mountainwine #cabernetacademy #cabernetday #cabernetsauvignon #californiaclassic

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is one of the most exotic, flamboyant young wines I have ever tasted from Randy and Mike Dunn. Graphite, cherry liqueur, smoke, licorice, plums and crème de cassis, open up in an alluring Cabernet Sauvignon that melds together ripeness and structure... (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2015)

Deep ruby red. A little savory on the nose with tons of red and black cherries as well as a little baking spices. Heavy mountain tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Great layers on the palate with bramble berries, black cherries, and a bit woody. Balanced acidity and intense structure. Nice texture with a bit of gravel in the long finish. Drink till 2042.

Bravo to my brother-in-law that picked this one up for us to end with. Committing infanticide drinking a 2012 done but it was spectacular nonetheless! Thanks Bob!

Simply awesome!! 45+ minute decant. Dark red color. Drinking older than I would have expected. Refined with a lovely texture. Cassis, dark fruit, pencil shavings, and minerality. Long finish.

The most balanced beautiful wines I have ever had in my life. This wine is phenomenal and had another 30 years in it. Pencils shavings, dark fruit on the nose with earth and forest floor on the palate.

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!
