Hailing from the esteemed Howell Mountain in Napa Valley, this 2002 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the region’s stellar reputation. It wears its 93-point score with pride, carrying an aromatic bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and a hint of vanilla that leads into a structured, full-bodied palate. The wine’s age has allowed the flavors to meld beautifully, revealing layers of dark fruit, earthy undertones, and a lingering, velvety finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon is not just a wine, it’s a conversation starter, perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a quiet evening of reflection. Despite its cracked capsule, this bottle delivers well beyond its peers, making it a truly great value find considering its original retail price.
