What to buy now

Article Abstract:

The 1996 vintage offers some of the best California Cabernets of the decade, though the quality of the year overall is not consistent. Because 1997 was one of the largest crops in history and is expected to also be a quality year, collectors may wish to buy 1996 vintages selectively. Lists of best value and top-scoring California Cabernets are included.
