Cole,
The above URL is behind a pay wall.
On personal experience I can say that I am a fan of Vincent wines and have ordered a good number of cases for my cellar. There may be Oregon wines I’d like better but I have not tasted them - and I sure have been trying.
Best, Jim

Key paragraphs here:
A&B had discovered how to satisfy its customers with remarkably Burgundian wines from a corner of America 5,000 miles away. Oregon has proved a most extraordinary success. Customers have lapped up the wines to such an extent that A&B imported three 40-foot containers of Oregon wine in 2021. And A&B still has the field virtually to itself in the UK where, as London’s crowded Burgundy Week tastings in January testify, there is no shortage of burgundy lovers.
The sheer size of A&B’s portfolio presumably reflects the demand and the extent to which it has cleaned up in the UK. Exclusivities so far are Abbott Claim, Arterberry Maresh, Bethel Heights, Brick House, Cameron, JK Carriere, Coattails, Crowley, Domaine Roy & Fils, Goodfellow, Patricia Green, Mimi Casteel’s Hope Well, Hundred Suns, Lavinea, Morgen Long, Martin Woods, Mills Wine Company, Sequitur, Shea Wine Cellars, Suzor, Thomas, Trathen Hall, Trisaetum and Vincent Wine.
