The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Trailer is a young wine that has a bit more mid-palate juiciness, texture and sweetness than the Howell Mountain Cabernet. Dark red fruit, blood orange, rose petals, and spice abound. This is a powerful, inky and explosive wine. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)

Wild blueberries and blackberries and some funk. Had a gnarly bite to it that threw me. Probably needed more air time. Cool wine to try — 9 months ago

Mr Dunn has another hit! I’m a red fanatic with no shame. But it truly compliments the strong Long Shadows Collection with it’s intense starting notes and light finish. — 9 months ago

1hr+ decant. Dark red color with slight browning on the edges. Nose was rustic and refined. Cherries and subtle bell peppers. High quality with a medium finish. Dunn and I just click! — 2 months ago

Rich dark and red fruits, still some evident firm, tannic structure (but I guess cellaring Madiran is like cellaring Dunn Howell Mountain, as life may not be long enough for them to shed their tannins? LOL), long, lingering firm finish, really quite fine!! — a year ago
