Randy Dunn has been making some of Napa's most uncompromising mountain Cabs for decades, and the 1999 is a beautiful reminder of why collectors never sleep on this label. Dark, brooding, and built to last, it's the kind of wine that rewards patience and at 25 years in, that patience has clearly been paying off. Three publications gave it scores in the low to mid 90s, which honestly feels a little conservative.
