And don't drink it too early...

...because of superstitions.
I believe you are resisting the idea of wine storage at a constant 59 degrees, too. So if that's the case, buying wine that's best drunk young is probably a good idea.
Between one and three or five years for CA reds IS early compared to say, what Bourdeax need.
If you watch the WS ratings, they also suggest when it is best drunk, stored and consumed by.
Even champagne will mellow out and get more complex with a little bottle age.
That's the beauty of buying a partial or full case - you can taste it periodically along the way to decide when it suits you best.
Some men prefer young women, others young wine.
Personally, I prefer a little mellow maturity on both.
