Experienced producers and consumers alike know that the best of California’s Cabernets merit a decade of cellaring before consuming. For 2014, the year of Napa’s 6.0 magnitude earthquake, these 20 wines have risen from the cellar bigger and better than ever. Earlier this year, senior editor James Molesworth conducted a retrospective tasting of California Cabs from 2014, a vintage that garnered a classic rating of 95 points upon its release despite the destruction.
