Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is one of the most exotic, flamboyant young wines I have ever tasted from Randy and Mike Dunn. Graphite, cherry liqueur, smoke, licorice, plums and crème de cassis, open up in an alluring Cabernet Sauvignon that melds together ripeness and structure. The fruit is distinctly red-toned in 2012, with fewer of the darker notes that are often present in the Howell Cabernet. Pliant and expressive, but with plenty of underlying tannin, the 2012 is shaping up to be a beauty. Best of all, it won’t need decades in the cellar to start drinking well. This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.

Our signature wine contains only fruit farmed by us here in our vineyards on Howell Mountain. The wine comes in a distinctive bottle that is hand dipped in red wax.
