Dunn Vineyards, founded in 1979 by Randy Dunn, is a Napa Valley pioneer situated high on Howell Mountain. Dunn is world-famous for uncompromisingly traditional, mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon built with massive tannic power, low alcohol, high natural acidity, and legendary cellar longevity spanning half a century.

The 2022 Howell Mountain Cabernet is sourced entirely from high-elevation (1,800+ feet) estate vineyards planted on volcanic red clay and fractured basalt. Aged for 32 months in 100% new French oak barrels, the 2022 vintage is a classic mountain titan: dense cassis, dark blackberry, crushed mountain rock, graphite, cedar box, and dried sage, held together by a formidable, fine-grained tannic wall.

Why You'll Love It

• A benchmark of Napa Valley mountain Cabernet Sauvignon built for multi-decade aging.
• Sourced from 1,800+ ft elevation volcanic soils on Howell Mountain, delivering unmatched structure and mineral drive.
• Intense aromas of dark cassis, graphite, dried sage, pencil shavings, and sweet cedar.

How To Serve It

• Serve at a cool room temperature between 62°F and 65°F.
• Given its massive mountain tannic core, we strongly recommend a generous 2 to 3-hour decant in its youth.
• Pour into Bordeaux stems to frame its massive, structured profile.
• Pair with prime ribeye steak, roasted venison loin, braised short ribs, or dry-aged beef.
