1995 Vintage California Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting - A Study of 30 Year Old Cabernet

 Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.

 

John Cleese

 

Or they simply can’t afford the good stuff…and you don’t have to be a billionaire to drink well at the Wine Watch we have great wines at every price point.

 

We are doing serious scientific work with the 1995 vintage and I think a good follow-up to our 1995 Bordeaux wine tasting we held back in September would be a 1995 California Cabernet Sauvignon tasting to compare how the wines from the USA compare to the great wines of Bordeaux.  

 

A year of weather extremes marked the 1995 vintage, which saw winter floods, spring rains and a June hailstorm. The dramatic weather events got the growing season off to a late start, and although summer heat pushed grapes to maturity, harvest was late and yields were down. Moderate Indian Summer temperatures permitted extended hang time for red varieties, important to the development of rich flavors and deep color. Overall, vintners characterized the year as late, light and luscious. -napavintners.com
