In the 8/15 edition of "The Insider" Laube writes: "This is a tremendous vintage, and one of the best of the decade from the state's best Cabernet appellation". The appellation he's referring to here is Napa.
So, let's take a look at some ratings:
Bond, $285 - 93 Points
David Arthur, $95 - 92 Points
Etude, $100 - 92 Points
Opus One, $225 - 92 Points
Dunn, $90 - 91 Points
Phelps Insignia, $200 - 91 Points
These are some of the biggest names in winemaking. What ratings will the lesser known, more affordable producers receive?
What gives?
To be fair there were some higher rated wines like the 97 point Screaming Eagle for $750 and the 96 point Harlan for $750. But only a handful of people can even get these wines.
At least Wine Spectator is consistent - they've been frustrating us all year!
