My first guess is that they tasted alike because all you could taste was oak. Just a hunch.

I had lunch with a barrel rep the other day who told me about a chart showing where new barrels are sold around the world.
More go Napa than anywhere else. There is also more higher end wine made there too, so that accounts for some of it. But to be sure, the wines are heavily oaked. That adds to the time waiting for the fruit to show up.

In my opinion anyway.
