Terroir is dead.
Wine was once nature's signature, bottled. You could taste the soil, feel the topography, sense the climate, but those days are largely over.
Natural variability is bad for busines...
Really is a a new world wine making problem and perhaps some of the mass produced Spanish and Italian stuff. Feels like you can get a lot of character between vintages from most of France and the new breed of Spanish growers.
