The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes across as full and expansive on the palate, smelling of pine needles, blueberries and cherries. With a great texture and framed by plenty of soft dusty tannins, it has a long and concentrated finish, promising at least two decades of positive evolution. The Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon matured for 32 months in 100% new French oak.

Antonio Galloni writes about the 2019 Dunn Cabernets (98/100): "The The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is outrageously beautiful"

Dunn Vineyards farms 42 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon on Howell Mountain. Since 1979, they have worked to nurture these vines to produce a wine that tastes like Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Under the leadership of Bill Smith, Randy and a few other winemakers and grape growers proposed the distinctive Howell Mountain as an AVA (a separate appellation). The AVA boundary begins at 4,500 feet, so even when it's cool and foggy in the valley, it's sunny and breezy on the mountain. The wine embodies Howell Mountain Cabernet: deep concentration, bold, massive, ultra-rich and elegant.

Dunn Vineyards is a respected and iconic wine producer based in the Napa Valley, California. The winery is known for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon wines and its dedication to producing wines that express the character of the Napa Valley.

History of Dunn

Dunn Vineyards was founded in 1978 by Randy Dunn. He was driven by a vision to produce world-class Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the Napa Valley. Dunn Vineyards is best known for its Cabernet Sauvignon wines. They produce both Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The Howell Mountain appellation, where a significant portion of Dunn grapes are grown, is known for its high elevation and unique terroir. The volcanic soil and cooler climate contribute to the production of intensely flavored, structured and long-lived Cabernet Sauvignons.

Traditional wine making

Randy Dunn is known for his traditional winemaking techniques. This involves using a longer maceration period and aging the wines in large, neutral oak barrels. The aim is to produce wines that showcase the inherent qualities of the fruit without an overt influence of oak. Dunn's Cabernet Sauvignons are known for their aging potential. They are structured wines with firm tannins and acidity, which allow them to evolve and improve with long-term cellaring. Dunn's wines are known to continue to develop and improve over decades.

Dunn Family

The winery remains a family business, with a strong commitment to maintaining tradition and quality standards. Dunn Vineyards has maintained a reputation for producing some of the most iconic and long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the Napa Valley. Their wines are prized by collectors, connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts for their depth, complexity and ability to age gracefully.
