L'ambassade américaine à Londres a organisé une dégustation de Napa Cabernets organisée par le Vignerons de la Napa Valley . Les 14 caves invitées à verser leurs vins ont mis deux millésimes à dix ans d'intervalle. Il n'y avait pas de programme derrière l'événement, mais cela a permis aux dégustateurs de suivre l'évolution des vins des meilleurs producteurs. Dans la plupart des cas, le jeune millésime était soit 2015 ou 2016, et le plus vieux 2005 ou 2006.

C'étaient tous de bons millésimes, donc la qualité était, ou aurait dû être, constamment élevée. En effet, les vins allaient de très bons à superbes, comme on pourrait l'espérer étant donné qu'ils variaient en prix d'environ 100 £ à 500 £. Harlan Estate était probablement le vin le plus cher, alors j'ai demandé à son directeur, Don Weaver, ce qui avait changé entre 2005 et 2015. Il n'a pas hésité: «Il y a bien sûr une variation de millésime. En dehors de cela, le seul changement significatif est que les vignes sont plus âgées et plus équilibrées. Mais Harlan reste au même endroit, avec la même équipe dans le vignoble et la cave. »

Ce serait vrai pour de nombreuses propriétés ici. Certes, en Californie, il est courant d'acheter des raisins à des producteurs sous contrat, de sorte que les sources peuvent varier d'une année à l'autre. Mais la majorité des vins ici provenaient de vignobles uniques, tels que Tor’s To Kalon ou Heitz’s Martha’s Vineyard.
