2011 Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Tasting notes
The dense purple 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa offers a big sweet kiss of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, underbrush and subtle oak. The tannins are soft and the wine ripe, medium to full-bodied and ideal for drinking now and over the next 12-15 years. Alcohol, regardless of what the label says, is 13.7%.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is one of the most open, young Dunn Cabernets I have ever tasted. Sweet red berries, cinnamon, wild flowers, cedar and tobacco are all laced together in a supple, racy Cabernet that is already drinking well. The 2011 is quite delicate today, almost uncharacteristically so. Once again, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was made entirely from Howell Mountain fruit.
