"Uncork the aromas of blueberry, licorice, hints of fresh floral and wintergreen intertwine effortlessly. The first sip is composed, layered with dark fruit, silky tannins and a finish that lingers with blackberry and cinnamon spice. Medium acidity carries the wine with graceful tension, leading to a long, steady finish. A touch of baking spice and toasted coconut from American oak enhances the wine’s elegance, rounding out its structure with warmth and subtle complexity. Timeless in its expression, inviting in its character." —winemaker

"2022 Howell Mountain sings, even at this young age, with suavity and soulfulness. The hallmarks Dunn admires vintage after vintage of their 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." —winemaker

"Perfumed with fresh flowers, lavender, ripe plum and cherry compote, lifted by Earl Grey and spice. Bright acidity leads to raspberry and cranberry, then darker blueberry and blackberry with cedar and mint. Espresso, cacao, and baking spices finish a young, structured wine that will gain depth with time." —winemaker

"The 2022 PlumpJack Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with vibrant aromas of cherry and raspberry cordial intermingled with juicy boysenberry. Beneath the fruit, warming spices emerge—cinnamon and nutmeg bring depth to the wine, while a touch of cocoa adds to the complexity. Finally, a subtle note of sage infuses the wine with an herbal freshness that lifts the wine. The palate reveals a silky texture complemented by a fine, energetic tannin that provides a seamless structure. A mouth-watering acidity gives this wine verve and life while pulling the wine to the back of the palate, leaving a lasting impression of vibrant fruit and warming spice." —winemaker
