After what turned out to be a difficult and traumatic growing season across California, those who were able to make Napa Valley Cabernets managed to produce many high-quality wines, albeit often in small quantities. Decanter’s Napa correspondent Jonathan Cristaldi reviewed the growing season and delivered more than 140 tasting notes and scores - 34 from across the valley’s appellations he rated 95 or above – including three at 99 points.
