Dunn Vineyards

Dunn Vineyards is located east of St. Helena in the town of Angwin on Howell Mountain. In 1978 Randy and Lori Dunn purchased the original vineyard property. The property size would increase over time, but the first purchase was a total of 14 acres. Only five of those acres at the time were vineyard. The Winery was established in 1979, with the first harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. In 1981, the first release offered consumers 660 cases of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Howell Mountain vineyards. In 1982, Dunn released a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. In the mid 80’s, production at Dunn Vineyards outgrew the existing winery, so in 1989 the caves were completed. These caves would provide barrel storage. In 1991, Dunn Vineyard’s property grew with the purchase of Park Muscatine’s 40 acres. At the turn of the Century, we planted our Lake Vineyard. This vineyard replaced a hayfield that Randy and the family had been harvesting for the last 20 years. Also in 2000, Mike began working full time in cellar. In 2004, Randy and Lori purchased the Sentinel Hill, located just as you drive into the town of Angwin. This land consists of 63 forest acres. Dunn Vineyards have historically provided consistent examples of classic, Californa Cabernets. They are highly ageworthy and very collectible.
