California Futures
MacArthur Beverages proudly hosted the 27th annual California Barrel Tasting here in Washington DC on March 10, 2012. Over 30 winemakers from California showcased their latest vintage of Cabernet for over 400 wine lovers. On behalf of the Bassin family and the staff at MacArthur Beverages I would like to thank all of the California vintners for once again for taking time out of their busy schedules and continuing to support what is still one of the most important wine tasting events in DC.
This year’s California Barrel Tasting highlighted the 2009 and 2010 vintage. The 2009 wines were very well balanced, incredibly perfumed and will be great wines to enjoy upon release. This seemed to be mirrored by many of the customers with whom I spoke to at both sessions. The 2010 vintage is a little different. These wines are more structured with richer tannins and wonderfully ripe fruit. These wines will take longer to come around but are going to be wonderful when they do. -Andy Creemer California wine buyer
PRESS:
“The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet-based reds are big, powerful and viscerally thrilling wines. The year was once again characterized by a cold, long growing season, with a few massive heat spikes. Winemakers who knew how to handle the challenges of the year were rewarded with fabulous – and in some cases, spectacular – wines.” “The 2009 reds are gorgeous, beautifully balanced reds with silky tannins, radiant fruit and huge early appeal. The 2009s are intensely perfumed, mid-weight, gracious wines that will deliver considerable pleasure right out of the gate.” - The Wine Advocate
