In 2013, California Knew How To Party

2013 is going to be considered a 21st century 1997 or 1991 for Northern California Cabernet—you know, one of those years.  In a decade or two, you won’t have enough of in your cellar.  For a variety of reasons, there were near-perfect growing conditions in the North Coast and the average quality of wines produced is astronomical.
