Den amerikanske ambassade i London var vært for en smagning af Napa Cabernets arrangeret af Napa Valley Vintners . De 14 vingårde, der blev inviteret til at hælde deres vine, bragte to årgange med ti års mellemrum. Der var intet program bag begivenheden, men det gav smagere mulighed for at overvåge udviklingen af vine fra de bedste producenter. I de fleste tilfælde var den unge årgang enten 2015 eller 2016, og den ældre 2005 eller 2006.

Disse var alle gode årgange, så kvaliteten var eller burde have været konstant høj. Faktisk varierede vinene fra meget gode til fremragende, som man kunne håbe på i betragtning af at de varierede i pris fra omkring £ 100 til £ 500. Harlan Estate var sandsynligvis den dyreste vin, så jeg spurgte lederen, Don Weaver, hvad der har ændret sig mellem 2005 og 2015. Han tøvede ikke med: 'Der er selvfølgelig vintage-variation. Bortset fra det har den eneste væsentlige ændring været, at vinstokke er ældre og mere afbalancerede. Men Harlan forbliver det samme sted med det samme hold i vingården og vingården. '

Det ville være tilfældet med mange ejendomme her. Sandt nok er det i Californien almindelig praksis at købe druer fra kontrakterede avlere, så kilderne kan variere fra år til år. Men størstedelen af vine her kom fra enkelte vinmarker, såsom Tor's To Kalon eller Heitz's Martha's Vineyard.
