  Absolutely sensational. little to no bricking, brute color and typical Howell Mountain fruit clearly great wine making skills. Well worth the wait.

  Very slight pleasantly vegetal nose, full mouth that is saturated with fleshy plums and cherries and graphite; good length that turns a tiny bit strident.
  
  I can see this wine becoming less and therefore more subtle, but it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna make it better.

  When just opened, this had a liquorice note together with quite ripe fruit. After a while, the wine became more serious, with ripe blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, cedar, fully integrated tannins and a medium + length finish.

  WB DC Offline - Mostly Napa (Bistrot Lepic): Deep garnet, cherries and cedar on the nose. On the palate high acidity, medium alcohol medium body, cherries and black raspberries. Kept getting better all night. A lighter touch than most of the other wines in the lineup which shows through.

  once again Dunn Howell Mountain does not disappoint. this was a sexy and seductive wine with still relatively big rich fruity punch flavors (and I suspect some residual sugar).
