Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 1.5l
This signature wine contains only fruit farmed by the winery at their estate vineyards on Howell Mountain. The wine comes in a distinctive bottle that is hand dipped in red wax. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.
Coming from tiny yields and a hotter vintage, the Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 is a much more up-front, sweetly fruited, sexy wine compared to the more brooding, Bordeaux-like 2014, although there’s no shortage of structure and tannins in this Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2015. Giving up a great nose of kirsch liqueur, blackcurrants, sandalwood, sweet tobacco, and exotic spices, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, elegant texture, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. There’s just a subtle firmer edge to the tannins here, which is common in the vintage, that I suspect will always be there, but the fruit is beautifully pure, Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 has remarkable sweetness (ripeness, not residual sugar), great balance, and it’s just a singular wine in the lineup. It’s going to drink well for 30+ years.
