I have sat in this wine for a few years and was starting to worry that it might have peaked for my taste. Boy was I wrong. The color is still very dark. Aroma initially was predominated by tertiary notes that make you feel like you are in the cellar. Afte about 20 minutes the grape varietal came through. Not sure where this wine goes from here, but now is a great time to open this for my taste. I’d give it a 30 minute decant and enjoy on its own

My first Dunn experience. Taken from coravin. What a great wine in a bad year. Smooth. Primarily red fruit with some cinnamon on the nose. Drinking really well with no signs of tiring. Im a fan.cellaring the 2012 Howell mountain and will definitely look into better vintages

Second of two bottles. I can definitely appreciate the style more than the last time I tried it. Restrained in style by Napa standards. Acidity, smooth with polished tannins. Great steak cab.
