Howell Mt fruit, this comes from Mike Dunn, son of Randy. Whole different varietal from what his dad does but similar in that he makes both a Napa valley floor/foot hills and a mountain fruit version. I prefer the Howell Mt but that’s my bias. Ripe Black fruits, black cherry, meaty, sage herbal notes, firm tannins but I bet that they’d open up with a little time open. Would love to grab a few to age.

If Rudy Kurniawan made this it would be equal parts Shafer Relentless, off-vintage La Mission Haut Brion, and recent release Aussie Shiraz. Creosote, wet clay, and bacon fat, with a million things in between.

Almost totally opposite of the Gargiulo G Major 7 Cab. Smoky, earthy, floral, barnyard nose with a huge French influence on the palate. Not a style for everyone but I loved it. Medium plus depth and long finish.

Love Mike Dunn & his families wines. Deep purplish-blue, tons of blueberries & toasted wood. Very dry long finish.
