The 2012 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from Dunn vineyards has an old-school Dunn feel. With over a decade of age, the wine’s fine-grained tannins still provide fantastic structure. The grapes were sourced from both Howell Mountain and Coombsville. It shows fantastic balance of fruit and savory notes, with currant leaf, mint leaf, blackberry and black cherry all coming through. There is a lovely grip in the finish as well as a seductive bitter chocolate note.
