1997 Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet 95 pts
The wines are always impressive for their strength, massive body, and highly extracted blackcurrant fruit. Dunn, who believes in filtering but not fining, tends to use the former technique as a way of bringing a measure of refinement to the brute strength and power his wines possess. It is too early to say, but if there is any weakness to Dunn's Cabernets it would be the surprising lack of bottle bouquet. Dunn vehemently believes that filtration has nothing to do with this, and that it is only a matter of time before his Cabernets exhibit more aromatic evolution.

Robert Parker RP95 - 1997 Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet - 95 pts The fabulous black/purple opaque blue-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain offers remarkable purity of blackberry/cassis jam intermixed with minerals earth and oak. Preposterously rich and backward this massive gargantuan Cabernet Sauvignon will require 10-15 years of cellaring even though 1997 was a sweet ripe year. It is a candidate for 50+ years of aging and I would not be surprised if it still possesses its fruit and intensity at age 100. Extremely full-bodied and super-extracted it is built to age like a glacier.
