Cal Cabs Thrashed In Decanter!

[Van The Man]

I agree Bucko. And I think it's an oversimplification for them to say, across the board, CA Cabs don't age. And of course, "age" is and of itself is a variable not a definition.

I think that their insinuation was that today's CA Cabs, in general, don't have the stuffing to go the long haul, say 20 years. Furthermore, when you look at the CA Cabs commanding the prices some of them are andthen line them up against similarly priced Classified Bordeaux, 9 out of 10 times, you'll get more value for the dough provided you concider "ageworthiness" of value.

But you are SO right! 95% of the worlds wine is meant to be drunk immediately after it's purchased so to pick on CA wines for this in general would be unfair. But like I said, I think they are looking at what $75 would get you in Bordeaux vs. $75 in CA. <shrug>
