Dunn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1988

Pretty tasty for an old thing. Probably not the best bottle example I've had, this one had a little seepage at some point. Good concentration and density nonetheless. Starting to go more tertiary, but there's still good fruit. Acid is nice. I would love another bottle and compare, so my rating is mostly for this specific bottle.

In great shape. Rich strong dried black fruit with savory liquorish... Still has plenty of time.

Kyle Groombridge

Not as good as the '86, but still nice. More tertiary and rustic and not quite as alive.

Showing unbelievable fruit for a 1988 Dunn out of a Magnum! Wow! Larry comes thru again.

The best in Cali!!

Medium-dark ruby purple color, redfruits, soft structure, nice balance, was never a blockbuster like the better vintages of Howell Mountain, but has consistently been a solid CA Cab in the context of the 1988 Napa vintage.

Admittedly a so-so Napa vintage, but cigar box, still good structure, dark fruits, pretty solid balance, nice with our leftover rib roast dinner!!

Doug Powers

Mature redfruits aromas and flavors, still shows good structure, very good finish, drinks well tonight but in no danger of dying anytime soon!!

With silky and peppery notes, this sleeping giant emerges tirelessly with charm and balance
