Dunn, Trailer Cabernet Sauvignon

Dunn, Trailer Cabernet SauvignonDunns 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Trailer Vineyard is one of the small, single parcel bottlings the winery has begun releasing over the last dozen years or so, in this case from Trailer, Dunn's original Howell Mountain vineyard that was replanted after the 2013 harvest. Mike Dunn opted to pick this fruit a bit riper than the norm and chose not to remove alcohol, the standard practice here. The result is a sumptuous, exotically beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon

The finest young wine I've encountered from Delamotte

Full-bodied and rich without being heavy

Another compelling wine

then turns a bit more clenched in spite of its fleshiness and inherent pliancy

pure and beautifully detailed flavors that are balanced

even tannins and lingering florality

It grows in the mouth and gets fuller and fuller – but always refreshing with it

It's still very full and richly fruited on the palate

Partial MLF

Silky and surprisingly approachable for the vintage

There is outstanding density to the overtly stony medium-bodied flavors that are rich to the point of opulence while delivering superb length on the balanced

this was brilliant
