The 1997 vintage was an absolute gift to Napa, and Dunn used it to craft something truly special on Howell Mountain. Decanter and Wine Advocate both landed in the mid to upper 90s, recognizing a wine of serious depth, minerality, and longevity. Nearly 30 years on, this is living proof that mountain Cab, when made right, is essentially immortal.
