Fresh from compiling the Decanter Napa Valley Cabernet vintage report for 2018 Matthew Luczy has pulled together a list of his top 10 producers and 10 wineries to watch based on the wines tasted.
Quick links
Individual AVA analysis and top-scoring wines:
Calistoga, Coombsville, Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Oakville, Rutherford, St Helena, Stags Leap District
Unsurprisingly the producers behind Luczy’s two wines of the year – Corison and Kapcsándy – top his ‘best producers’ list alongside a host of wineries from across Napa’s varied AVAs.
