Lot #196. Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2008

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 98+ AG.
"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain takes things to another level, as hard as it may seem to believe. This was another difficult vintage for Dunn. Yields were down a full 50%. In exchange, nature rewarded Dunn with the fruit to make an epic wine that could very well turn out to be a modern-day legend. The 2008 is a huge, towering wine packed with dark fruit, licorice, tar, asphalt and licorice. Layers of perfume are woven throughout this majestic effort. The 2008 should only be purchased by the very patient, but it is a legendary wine in the making." Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate #198, Dec 2011
Provenance: The Moon River Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $300
