Help with Napa vintages

[Victor_Hong]

It was a joke.

Here is how I would rank them:
2005 (hold)
1997 (drink)
2001 (drink/hold)
2004 (hold)
2002 (drink/hold)
1999 (drink/hold)
1998 (drink)
2000 (drink)
2003 (pour down the drain)

My favorite Napa Cab is Dunn Howell Mountain, Here’s my vintage chart for that wine since 1997

1997 - Hold
1998 - Hold
1999 - Hold
2000 - Hold
2001 - Hold
2002 - Hold
2003 - Hold
2004 - Hold
2005 - Hold
2006 - Hold
2007 - Hold

I hope this helps. If you’re looking for the older vintages of the Dunn HM, here’s my chart for the prior five years:

1996 - Hold
1995 - Hold
1994 - Hold
1993 - Hold
1992 - Hold

Which has always begged the question for me: Why is Dunn HM anyone’s favorite Napa Cab?

I had the 07 as a barrel sample and loved it. I dont mind tannins, but the 07 seemed friendly than expected.

Ended up going with a 2001 ACV Eloge and a 2002 Peju Province. Both are truly excellent wines. I will get some notes on CT and post them here. I’m not sure how to get them into this thread. A big thank you to everyone who responded!
