Note di degustazione
It is difficult to find a Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon that can be drunk within ten years of its birth, but the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is seductive and sexy (generally words that cannot be attributed to a Dunn wine until about age 20). This 2001 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, lots of loamy soil, crushed rock, spring flower, blueberry and black currant liqueur notes and a lush, pure, medium to full-bodied personality. It can be drunk now as well as over the next 12-15 years. Both of these wines performed better than they did eight years ago. Tel. (707) 965-3642; Fax (707) 965-3805

Deep ruby-red. Vibrant aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and violet. Juicy, supple and sweet, with an intense cassis and tart red berry fruitiness complicated by cocoa powder, licorice, fresh herbs and tree bark. Bright acids give this highly concentrated, very pure cabernet a lovely light touch. Finishes with firm but suave tannins and excellent length.
Ruby-red. Black cherry, black raspberry, licorice and chocolate on the clean, fruit-driven nose. Juicy, dense and intensely flavored, with subtle hints of chocolate, tobacco, leather and game adding complexity to the cassis fruit. Sound acids give the flavors verve and definition. Finishes with firm tannins.
Bright saturated ruby. Aromas of blackberry and mocha. Less supersweet but perhaps more vinous than the Howell Mountain. Hints of oak, dark chocolate and leather to go with the dark berry flavors. Firmly structured.
