Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (torn label) 2013

97 points Decanter: "Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, rich earth, spice and liquorice are followed by a palate of striking persistence and structural amplitude. In 2013 this is typically large-scaled, fresh and built for the long haul, but Mike Dunn’s thoughtful changes to the estate’s barrel programme have resulted in more refined tannins. Brettanomyces issues that plagued the Dunn wines about 15 years ago also seem long gone, so nothing should compromise their lovely evolution in the cellar. Alcohol 13.9%. (9/26/16)"

95 points James Suckling: "A bright and fragrant red with blueberries and blackcurrants. Flowers, too. Full body, super-integrated tannins and a fabulous finish. Seamless and refined. Needs three or four years to soften but already a beauty. (5/22/17)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a big, unctuous wine with huge fruit that nearly buries the tannins. Dark red cherry, plum, mint, licorice, new leather and spices flesh out in a rich, dense wine endowed with exceptional balance. This is an unusually sweet, almost flamboyant wine from Dunn, and yet all the elements are impeccably balanced. Drink: 2020-2043. (Dec 2016)"

93 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color. Wow—it has a total rock-star nose of warm cassis, preserved plums, Chinese five spice and potpourri with hints of menthol, dusty earth, Ceylon tea and cigar box. Medium to full-bodied with a firm backbone of grainy tannins and great freshness, the palate gives loads of exotic spice and earth-laced black fruit layers, finishing very long and spicy. Drink: 2018-2032. (6/29/18)"
