"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

"Exemplifying power, elegance, approachability, and finesse, the 2022 vintage opens with delicate dusty rose, wild violet, red berries, caramel crème, and sweet baking spice from the well-integrated oak. The palate is plush and expansive, with a bountiful core of cassis, red currant, cherry, and ripe raspberry. A velvety-smooth, viscous mouthfeel and gentle signature “Rutherford Dust” tannins contribute to its refined structure and balance. The finish lingers with notes of pomegranate, kir royale, floral, and fresh mint. Incredibly drinkable upon release, this classic Napa Valley Cabernet will remain juicy and inviting for many years to come." —winemaker

"Each year, we set aside the best barrels of our Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley to produce Special Selection. Distinguished by extremely fine, velvety tannins and enjoyable upon release or with aging. A wine of structure with intense concentration of supple flavors and dark fruits. Special Selection is the only wine in the world honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s “Wine of the Year.”" —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
