DUNN 'HOWELL MOUNTAIN' CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2010, Napa

"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is classic Dunn. Graphite, herbs, incense, tobacco, licorice and coffee infuse the 2010 with notable depth. There is an exotic quality that is hard to fully capture with words, but that lends tons of allure. This 2010 is just starting to be approachable, althought it clearly has the stuffing and pedigree to drink well for many decades to come. One of the very best wines of the vintage, the Dunn Howell Mountain has always been magical. It is all that and more this night. Readers who are lucky enought to own it are in for a real treate.
