2000 Dunn, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 86+

Deep red-ruby color. Distinctly animal aromas of roasted meat and currant, with an offputting bandaid note. Then juicy, intense and focused in the mouth, but with elevated acidity and a repeating note of bandaid. Shapely and persistent, but minty and a bit dry. A very awkward showing.

The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa may be the lightest example I have tasted since Randy Dunn began making his blockbuster Cabs in 1979. It possesses a deep ruby/purple color, medium body, moderate levels of cassis fruit, and a tight, hard, narrow finish that will never flesh out. Although it will hold up for 10-12 years, there is clearly a lack of intensity/substance to this otherwise cleanly made lightweight. [Robert Parker, 12/01/2003]

Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015
