2022 Howell Mountain sings, even at this young age, with suavity and soulfulness. The hallmarks we admire vintage after vintage of our Howell Mountain bottling are on full display: toasted cumin, a slatey mineral edge, and unfurling layers of density and complexity. Grippy yet somehow ethereal, velvety tannins reverberate around a rich core of red and black fruit, taut yet lifted by violets and wild mountain herbs.
Exceptionally selective blending was required for this vintage of Howell to showcase the challenging growing season without sacrificing any power or prestige. 2022 Howell is a reminder of how great sites and wines can prevail even in the most trying circumstances.
Dunn Vineyards built its name on its two wines defined by structure, purity, and restraint: Howell Mountain and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Both wines are made identically, aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.
The Howell Mountain bottling utilizes only the fruit farmed from our 42 acres on Howell Mountain, where the berries have thick skins to withstand the additional hours of sunlight and intense breezes. Powerful, savory, and mineral-driven, Dunn Howell Mountain has a signature spice note of cumin and coriander.
