Dunn Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 2022 022826OFFER Robert Biale’s Party Line ZinfandelIt's hard to picture a more iconic Napa Cabernet than Dunn.

In 2022 there's a twist: it's all Howell Mountain estate fruit, no valley floor, yet still bottled under the Napa Valley label. The result is an unusual Dunn, soft and succulent, with the bold, juicy personality to drink well now
