Tasting notes
I loved the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Feather by Randy Dunn, and it’s a firm, tannic, classically styled Cabernet Sauvignon that has terrific intensity and concentration. Black fruits, scorched earth, chocolate and hints of graphite all dominate the bouquet, and its full-bodied, tight and compact on the palate, with a power-packed, tannic finish. Forget bottles for 3-4 years and drink over the following two decades.

(14.8% alcohol; 3.87 pH; Nicault is picking this fruit earlier for winemaker Randy Dunn): Bright ruby-red. Classic medicinal Dunn nose of black cherry, graphite, dried herbs and tobacco leaf, lifted by a note of rose petal. Juicy and tightly wound, offering surprising clarity for its highish pH. Not at all a creamy style; in fact, quite backward, even austere on the back end, which shows serious but ripe building tannins and excellent length. Seamless but youthfully imploded, this spicy wine needs time to expand in bottle.
