L'ambasciata americana a Londra ha ospitato una degustazione di Napa Cabernets organizzata dal Vintners della Napa Valley . Le 14 cantine invitate a versare i loro vini hanno portato due annate a dieci anni di distanza. Non c'era un programma dietro l'evento, ma ha dato ai degustatori l'opportunità di monitorare l'evoluzione dei vini dei migliori produttori. Nella maggior parte dei casi l'annata giovane era il 2015 o il 2016 e quella più vecchia il 2005 o il 2006.
Erano tutte buone annate, quindi la qualità era, o avrebbe dovuto essere, costantemente alta. In effetti, i vini andavano da molto buoni a superbi, come si potrebbe sperare dato che il loro prezzo variava da circa £ 100 a £ 500. L'Harlan Estate era probabilmente il vino più costoso, quindi ho chiesto al suo manager, Don Weaver, cosa è cambiato tra il 2005 e il 2015. Non ha esitato: 'C'è una variazione vintage, ovviamente. A parte questo, l'unico cambiamento significativo è stato che le viti sono più vecchie e più equilibrate. Ma Harlan rimane lo stesso posto, con la stessa squadra in vigna e in cantina. '
Questo sarebbe vero per molte proprietà qui. È vero, in California è pratica comune acquistare uva da coltivatori a contratto, quindi le fonti possono variare di anno in anno. Ma la maggior parte dei vini qui proveniva da singoli vigneti, come Tor's To Kalon o Heitz's Martha's Vineyard.
