Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Intense burgundy-blue color in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, coffee, almond, bay leaf and cocoa. Silky and seductive on the palate with forward flavors of sweet raspberry fruit, smooth tannins and gentle acidity.

James Suckling
Aromatic with grilled meat and spice. Medium body, soft and silky tannins. Funky juicy fruit. Hipster red here. Balanced. Drink it.

When Mike and Kara Dunn decided to make a wine of their own, they knew that they wanted to honor the history of the vineyard as well as their families foundations in the Napa Valley wine industry.
The historic Park Muscatine vineyard on Howell Mountain was chosen in part because Mike has known this vineyard since his childhood, pruning the vineyard in winter, and harvesting the fruit in the fall. With its scant ton per acre production, this vineyard is a gem.
They chose the Retro name to pay homage to the generational groundwork that’s been laid for their endeavor and with a vision for continuity in the future literally illustrated by the artwork on the label, which came from the hand of their then 11-year-old son, Alex. Alex, now 23, is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, and part-time cellars hand at Dunn Vineyards and Retro Cellars.
