Fantastic every bottle. Deep enough for hardy filet but gentle upon throat with a silky finish

Like ty tonight. Well balanced and light. Perfect pizza wine if I was Brian !!

Phenomenal. Smooth finish but deep taste and purple hue

Fantastic. Lighter plum on nose and let decant for over an hour. Smooth finish with touch of bitter dark chocolate. Would purchase again for sure and went quite well with a light asparagus pasta

Drank Xmas eve fantastic needed 1 hour to decant for less harsh finish

Delicious with cran chocolate taste on tongue

drank prior to thx giving. Warmer finish on palate and not deserving of higher than 90 rating but excellent taste overall.

Delicious cranberry nose with hints of dark chocolate. Perfect finish smooth as silk. Complemented chicken and bacon dish

11/21/2015 - Krakajack wrote:

Continues to be my top pick from Howell. Opened beautifully with little decant. Served at 62 degrees brought a silky draw in first sip and clean finish end. Not as heavy as most Howells and the reason it's my favorite

Excellent. Forceful on the palate yet dark chocolate hints

Absolutely terrible. Grape juice with skunky after wash. Never purchase a caymus again after this joke.

Fantastic nose and lovely deep chocolately purple color. Excellent finish with not a intense alcohol linger but light and delicious with a pasta

Corked bottle

10/18/2014 - Krakajack wrote:

Extremely lovely nose. Bouquet of spring yellow rose and light tannins on the tongue. Highly rated finish one of the best this year. For 14.8 percent you wouldn't know the alcohol is this high. Delicious....

Lighter than most left bank perhaps need time. Worth the price and purchase again as an upper scale everyday wine

Phenomenal. Dryer than most cabs but fantastic taste

5/30/2014 - Krakajack wrote:

Not bad but a little acidic. drank alone without food and was probably harder on palate than would have been. Biting finish.

Always a pleasure to drink a Dunn howell. Went taste up against a Bordeaux blend and was equivalent, deep purple hue and delicious currant smell is this wines primary characteristic.

12/26/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Rivaled Beringer private reserve. Very good, lighter tannins and acidity.

12/26/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Vinegar taste and smell. Decent finish. Could have been a bad bottle but drank poorly next to Bordeaux and howell cab at 2013 Xmas wine tasting.

12/25/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Fantastic for cost. Shared alongside a Beringer private reserve 100 % cab. Light nose but blend was smooth and lighter on the palate. Great value .

12/24/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Delicious. Deep purple color, currant taste and oaky smell. Would purchase again, finished very nicely.

12/23/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Initial strong alcohol content on the palate during taste before decant. 14.6% detected immediately. Very dry but strong finish. Awaiting decant for further feedback.

12/20/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Very good for first bottle of organic. Light nose, sweet finish.

12/21/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Drank at Kristen's sat 12/21. Similar response to others, lighter cab than typical but very good and decent finish. Decant definitely helped, would purchase again at price point.

Drank at Rebecca's. Delicious cinnamon profile and ruby color.

11/30/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Not typically a merlot fan this wine was nice. Silky buttery taste and you can taste the cabernet finish with this blend. Would purchase again.

Drank at breakaway wine tasting and was not an impressive barolo compared to some I have had. Tart taste and weak smell on both bottles. Also loses luster when drinking next to a cabernet

Deep purple with beautiful shear on rim. Robust aromas. Smooth palate but not an extremely long linger. Enjoyed tremendously.

3/30/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Enjoyed immensely, however, probably skewed results because compared to cabernet and Pinot during wine tasting. Really opened up after 1 hour and was smooth and delicious. Nose very muted, with light aroma but body was perfect on the tongue, this wine changed my perception of brunellos for the positive!

3/30/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Good but very light nose almost muted. Decent body but lighter than some of the more intense napa cabs from howell or to kalon. Not a strong finish, and a bit under whelming. Probably not purchase , tasted at wine tasting compared to great brunello and Pinot.

Very strong and unique fruity smells. Cherry blossom. A bit moldy leather for me but typical to Pinot. Long lingers and light finish on the palate.

3/23/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Very good. Muted nose but light and delicious fruity palate of raspberry and tart. Enjoyed with eggplant ravioli and fit perfectly together

Fantastic. Nose of chocolate and caramel. Really opened up great after a half our. Drank as a treat after the NYC half marathon!

Stellar. Deep plum color with silky sheen. Very flavorful, best bottle of the year so far.

Smell of fungi and mold. Raspberry tart taste on the palate and light linger finish. Light alcohol flavor. Nice pizza night wine. Opened a bit after 15 minute decant and tannins softened even more.

2/3/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Distinct deep smell with initial hints of alcohol. Lighter body then a deep napa cab but deep purple color emulating heavy body. Great smooth linger and finish . Great value

1/26/2013 - Krakajack wrote:

Warm nose of caramel and sweet plum. Delicious palate of earthy tones and wintergreen spice. Not a long linger but smooth and controlled. Color was burgundy ruby red not a deep purple as may have expected from a napa from howell.

Initial palate taste decent with fruit forward spice on the tongue. Way too high alcohol content overpowers the good. Would not purchase again. Drank with B and Ty watching conf championships
