A embaixada americana em Londres sediou uma degustação de Napa Cabernets organizada pela Napa Valley Vintners . As 14 vinícolas convidadas a oferecer seus vinhos trouxeram duas safras com dez anos de diferença. Não houve um programa por trás do evento, mas deu aos provadores a oportunidade de acompanhar a evolução dos vinhos dos principais produtores. Na maioria dos casos, a safra jovem foi 2015 ou 2016, e a mais antiga 2005 ou 2006.
Todas essas safras eram boas, então a qualidade era, ou deveria ser, consistentemente alta. Na verdade, os vinhos variavam de muito bons a excelentes, como seria de se esperar, visto que seus preços variavam de cerca de £ 100 a £ 500. Harlan Estate era provavelmente o vinho mais caro, então perguntei a seu gerente, Don Weaver, o que mudou entre 2005 e 2015. Ele não hesitou: ‘Há variações vintage, é claro. Além disso, a única mudança significativa foi que as vinhas estão mais velhas e mais equilibradas. Mas Harlan permanece o mesmo lugar, com a mesma equipe no vinhedo e na adega. '
Isso seria verdade para muitas propriedades aqui. É verdade que na Califórnia é prática comum comprar uvas de produtores contratados, de forma que as fontes podem variar de ano para ano. Mas a maioria dos vinhos aqui veio de vinhedos únicos, como Tor’s To Kalon ou Heitz’s Martha’s Vineyard.
