Dunn’s Howell Mountain Cabernet isn’t just a Napa classic—it’s a benchmark. Since the early '80s, Randy Dunn has made some of the most distinctive, no-compromise Cabernet out there: bold, structured, and unapologetically built for the long haul.

The 2021 is textbook Dunn: deeply concentrated black fruit, graphite, and mountain herbs, all wrapped in firm tannins and cool-climate lift. It’s not showy or flashy—it’s focused, composed, and serious, in the best possible way.

This is Cabernet for collectors, cellar-dwellers, or anyone who likes their reds with backbone and soul. Open now with a long decant and a steak, or stash it for a decade (or three). Either way, it’s a legend in the making.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is one of the most polished young wines I have ever tasted from Dunn. Blackberry, graphite, crushed rocks, lavender, espresso, licorice and spice saturate the palate. There’s plenty of Howell Mountain tannin and acid, but in 2021, those elements are totally woven into the wine’s heady, luxurious fabric. Even so, I would not plan on opening a bottle any time soon. The 2021 spent 31 months in 100% new French oak, pretty much the norm here. What a wine!" -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"Dunn's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is richer, denser and more concentrated than the Napa Valley bottling but still hits the winery's hallmark notes of cedar, cassis, blueberries, pine needles and rubbed sage. It's medium to full-bodied, weighing in at just under 14% alcohol, but the tannins are ripe and relatively silky, and the wine finishes with tremendous length and ample harmony." -Joe Czerwinski

Decanter

D 98
"The colour of the Howell Mountain Cabernet is noticeably darker than the Napa Valley bottling, showcasing an incredibly intense, mineral-driven profile. The tannins have an ironstone-like quality—firm, structured, and reminiscent of that "iron fist in a velvet glove" metaphor. The palate has remarkable density, balanced by a pure, vibrant mix of tart red berries and black cherries. The tannins become more assertive, but as they gradually soften, a rush of juicy blood orange acidity emerges. The wine carries intriguing layers of sagebrush, cedarwood, and warm brown spices, delivering ample power and complexity. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in stainless steel tanks, aged up to 32 months in 100% new French oak."
