Product Description
JS98 "Stones and walnuts with blackberries and blueberries. A full-bodied, super-refined and polished wine that culminates in a racy and refined finish. Extremely long and exciting. Great wine." JS Feb 2017
AG97 "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain has really come together since I last tasted it. Still very young, the 2012 packs serious tannic heft in its mid-weight frame. Inky red fruit, gravel, iron, tobacco and spice-box all build effortlessly. The 100% new French oak is impeccably balanced. This is the best showing of the 2012 yet. I would not plan on opening a bottle anytime soon, even if doing so is hardly a crime. (Drink between 2024-2037)" AG for VM May 2024
"This iconic winery has some pretty stunning Cabernets for those with patience and cold cellars. Their estate on Howell Mountain now extends to 34 acres of vines. Randy Dunn’s son, Mike, is now running the show and may be picking slightly riper than his dad would have done." Robert Parker Published: Oct 28, 2016
