Dunn 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The Dunn Napa Cabernet is, as always, a big burly wine with intensity from start to finish.  The wine is loaded with bold dark, red and black stone fruit, hints of mint and anise with a whiff of tobacco and spice.  The wine is amazingly well-balanced for such a “monster” – and the finish offers up the typical Dunn-style, firm, grained tannins.  This is a wine that will benefit from 5+ years in the cellar and a healthy decanting upon serving.
