Ready! Drinking beautifully! I believe it will be at the tip top of its prime in a year.

Pleasantly surprised given a Parker 91. I thought it was a late 90's Beringer PR. Very pretty, nice blend of herbal and floral.

Tasted along side a 1990 Beringer Private Reserve. While the Beringer was excellent in a soft round way, the Dunn still had ample tannin and fruit. Perfect to consume now but has at least another 5+ prime years.

Wonderful nose. Could have been a Quilceda. Notable cab franc. Good the first day, better on day two.

A very nice cal cabernet. The wine is all about balance. The weight, the fruit, the tannins are each perfectly balanced. Maybe warrants a higher score.

Smoky, full bodied, soft but present tannins. Quite impressive, though not sure of age worthiness.

Classic Napa Cab. Great nose of dark cherry, but not too fruity. Dark color. Very good value.

Awesome. Drinking perfectly, though it needs to be consumed soon. Nice fruit, slight fade to the color and a good long finish.

Taste was ok, smell was off. Some form of cork smell.
