Parker Review: I dont know whether its me, the vintage character, or whether Randy Dunn and his son have intentionally softened their wines, but these 2004s are more opulent and upfront than previous renditions. Yet, they lack neither concentration nor richness. Those of us who have been cellaring Dunns wines for twenty years, waiting for them to reach maturity should be thrilled by this new development. The Howell Mountain is denser and richer with blacker fruits as well as more body. Both are fullbodied, powerful Cabernets very much in keeping with his style. However, the tannins are softer and the wines reveal surprisingly developed aromatics. Look for the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa to drink well for 15 years. It is a brilliant achievement.
Tanzer Review: Good rubyred. Aromas of cassis, smoke and licorice. Sweet and wild, with flamboyant flavors of dark fruits, chocolate, leather and game. In its sauvage flavors, this reminded me of a Chateau Lafleur from the 80s! Finishes with firm, dusty tannins.
