I was relieved to see that there was no origin or palate bias against Californian wines. The two Californian wines, Colgin and Bryant Family, proved they were equals to their French counterparts.

It proved that young vines that were newly planted in Napa can produce extraordinary wines that compete with the best Bordeaux.
