Built for structure, depth, and remarkable longevity, it stands apart for its uncompromising, terroir-driven style—powerful, yet always restrained. This is a wine that has long represented Howell Mountain at its most serious and age-worthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep, opaque ruby color, hinting at its concentration and intensity. The nose opens with dark berry fruit, violet, graphite, and subtle mineral notes, layered with a restrained sense of oak and earthy complexity.\n\nOn the palate, it is tightly wound and firmly structured, with blackcurrant, blackberry, and floral tones framed by vibrant acidity and polished, assertive tannins. A cool, mineral core runs through the wine, leading to a long, stony finish. This is a Cabernet designed for patience and will reward extended cellaring for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Dunn Vineyards’ high-altitude Howell Mountain sites, planted above 500 meters on volcanic soils that naturally deliver low yields, concentrated fruit, and pronounced tannic structure. Cooler mountain temperatures help preserve freshness and acidity, while the rugged terroir lends the wine its distinctive mineral edge. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with extended maceration, followed by roughly two and a half years of maturation in French oak, mostly used barrels, so the fruit remains the focus rather than the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest served with robust dishes such as grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, venison, or lamb with herbs and garlic. Hard, aged cheeses also make an excellent match. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for at least 1–2 hours is recommended, especially in its youth, to allow the wine’s structure and aromatics to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDunn Vineyards was founded by Randy Dunn, who became one of the defining voices in mountain-grown Napa Cabernet. The estate has built its reputation on a steadfast commitment to classical winemaking, moderate alcohol, and wines made for long-term cellaring rather than early appeal. Howell Mountain is central to its identity, and the winery is widely respected for producing some of the region’s most structured, age-worthy Cabernets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dunn Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122500608242,"sku":"FW-9634","price":213.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/howell_mountain_napa_valley_cs_2019.png?v=1777476359","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/dunn-vineyards-howell-mountain-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
