Dunn 2000 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

First component: Saturated ruby. Wild aromas of crushed dark berries, leather and meat. Juicy and minerally but not particularly fleshy. Shows a slightly rustic gamey quality to go with the mountain berry intensity. Second component: Distinctly animal on the nose. More expressive, expansive flavors of black raspberry, minerals and game. This may well surpass both the '99 and '98 Howell Mountain. Score: 91-94 points -- Stephen Tanzer, May 2003, Vinous
