Dunn - Among the Finest Values in Napa
“Anyone who has regularly tasted Randy Dunn's Cabernet Sauvignons (first produced in 1979) realizes several things. They all possess the following characteristics: (1) remarkable color and richness, (2) massive personalities with huge tannic structures, (3) gorgeous purity and unreal aging potential. Last year I reported on a tasting where all of Dunn's top wines back through the 1982 vintage were served. Remarkably, they had hardly budged in development, yet they were still exceptionally rich in their pure creme de cassis, black raspberry, and blackberry fruit notes... Randy Dunn is producing Cabernet Sauvignons that, in top vintages, will be fresh, lively, and rich in fruit at age 50. Unbelievably, Randy Dunn has barely raised his prices in the two decades he has been making wine. For those with patience, these are among the finest values in long-lived, classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Vinfolio has a remarkable collection of Dunn Howell Mountain and Dunn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, many in case quantities and reaching back as far as 1981. All bottles have passed Vinfolio's strict inspection standards and are currently in stock in our warehouse. Take this exceptional opportunity to build or fill in your collection of this California benchmark. Highlights include:
  • 1986 Dunn - Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain (WA 95) - “...awesome richness, mindboggling intensity, huge tannin, a massive mouthfeel, and a closed yet formidably long, well-endowed finish. This wine could be put in a tasting of 1994 California Cabernets and not stand out as a 10-year old wine...amazing!” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
  • 1987 Dunn - Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain (WS 97) - “A powerful, young wine, even at age 10. Dark, ripe, intense and deeply concentrated, this one is years from peaking. Packed with a rich, earthy core of currant, mineral, anise, sage and cedar. Quite tannic in this tasting, the fruit poured through on the finish.” - James Laube, Wine Spectator
  • 1994 Dunn - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (WA 94) - “...This immensely impressive Cabernet is a candidate for 20-30 years of cellaring. One of the issues about which Randy Dunn is sensitive is the fact that his wines are so remarkably consistent that it is often difficult to tell vintages apart. I think the vintage character will become more apparent when the wines are 15-20 years of age... I feel 1994 may turn out to be Dunn's finest of the three most recent vintages...” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
