HED90956 75cl 13%
Since 1979, the Dunn Family have owned and operated Dunn Vineyards and continue to produce some of the best expressions of new-world Cabernet Sauvignon. Only two wines are produced under the Dunn Vineyards banner, including this release, which combines around 85% Howell Mountain fruit with the remainder coming from the valley floor. 1985 was a particularly successful year for Cabernet, resulting in well-proportioned wines with fine tannins. One of the best vintages of the 1980s.

Dunn

Randy Dunn has been quietly making some of Napa Valley's finest Cabernet Sauvignon since the early 1980s - focussing on a single varietal and a single locale - Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. Farming 42 acres vineyards, Randy has decided against expansion and keeps tight control over how his fruit is farmed and how his wine made. In Randy's words - "we’ve done our best to care for these vines so that they produce a wine that tastes like Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain".

The estate currently produces two wines - Howell Mountain Cabernet, produced using fruit source only from vineyards located on Howell Mountain, and Napa Valley Cabernet that includes some fruit from the valley floor. Both wines are 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 32 months in French Oak.
