2002 Dunn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA

(90 points) “ Aromas of cassis, graphite, mint and chocolate, plus a whiff of band-aid. Then surprisingly pliant and creamy for a Dunn Cabernet, with accessible flavors of currant, licorice and milk chocolate. Finishes with rather suave tannins and some juicy acidity. Suppler than it appeared to be last spring when I tasted it from barrel, and considerably softer than the Howell Mountain bottling. (ST)”  (1/2006)  Int'l Wine Cellar
