1999 California - Time Has Worked to Their Advantage

“The 1999 California Cabernet vintage was a great success when it was released, delivering many of that decade's best wines. Now 10 years old, the top Cabernets of that harvest have, for the most part, aged the way wine lovers who cellared them hoped they would; time has worked to their advantage.” - James Laube, Wine Spectator

This excerpt from James Laube's 1999 retrospective appeared in the November 15th, 2009 issue of Wine Spectator and is testament not only to an excellent vintage, but to the growers and winemakers that made such beautiful expressions of Cabernet that year.

As Laube confirms, after a decade of bottle age, these wines are perfect for drinking now. Highlights include:

1999 Dalla Valle - Cabernet Sauvignon (WS 95) - “A potent wine, dark, rich and concentrated, with a tight, intense, sharply focused beam of spicy currant, black cherry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit that unfolds gracefully, revealing extra facets of depth and complexity. 2,000 cases made.” - James Laube, Wine Spectator

1999 Mondavi, Robert - Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (WS 94) - “An enormously complex and sophisticated wine that combines great flavors with uncommon finesse. Dark, sleek, rich and polished, with a delicious core of concentrated cola, currant, plum and blackberry. Tremendous finish. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.” - James Laube, Wine Spectator

1999 Pahlmeyer - Red (WS 94) - “Ultraripe, pushing it to the max. Rich mocha-laced black cherry and blackberry fruit. Hints of milk chocolate, herb and currant. Finishes with smooth, plush tannins and excellent length and complexity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. 1,750 cases made.” - James Laube, Wine Spectator
