Cal Cabs Thrashed In Decanter!

[Thomas]

Randy, if all winemakers were as talented as Andre T, perhaps the discussion would be moot. And of course, there are always exceptions.
Remember where Andre T. got his training. Subtlety marked his wines, which is what I prefer in Cabernet Sauvignon, at any price.
The point is, this is a personal preference. Although pros (even MW pros) in England or elsewhere are supposed to be objective, they often aren't. That is likely why they trashed the Cabernets.
