Dunn, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon 1996Base of neck or better 94 points Wine Advocate The opaque blue purple colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa boasts an exceptional nose of creme de cassis, minerals, and spice. It takes at least a decade for wines such as this to begin to reveal more identity and vintage character. The cassis blackberry liqueur like fruit are present, as are mouthsearing levels of tannin and impressive extract. This blockbuster should be at its peak between 2010 2040.
