The 2011 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable showing in this vintage. It begins with inviting aromas of blackberries, cherries, tobacco, graphite and spring florals, all taking shape beautifully in the glass. This elegant cabernet is balanced and structured with lovely tension leading up to the long, precise finish, which shows amazing length. While many struggled, the difficult growing conditions didn’t seem to affect the Dunn’s up on Howell Mountain, as they totally excelled in making an absolutely stunning wine. This outstanding wine is already showing extreamly and is without question one of the most compelling wines from the entire vintage.
