cropped from a cold year in the zone

Deep dark ruby red which gradually turns into garnet

veering to smoky and working well

citrus fruits as well as liquorice with hints of garrigue

This well-made effort could use better depth but there appears to be enough stuffing for that to progressively occur over the probable 5 to 8 years aging curve

Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Adelsheim cropped from a cold yearA deeper, richer, more powerful wine, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain sports a deep ruby plum hue to go with a Pauillac like nose of blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, and lead pencil notes. It's full bodied, incredibly concentrated, has the classic Howell Mountain tannic structure, and a gorgeous finish. Give bottles 7 8 years if you can and enjoy over the following 2 3 decades. 98 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
