I will let you know when I've had an American Wild that was better than even Cuvee Rene. Because it still hasn't happened.
I agree. I think it has to do with the fact that Americans aren't the greatest at blending. 95% of AWA's I've had have just been sour messes or sour messes covered up with fruit.

Lol. Great response. Would hate to see what kind of search results you had to sift through to get to that, though.
 
What are some examples of the other 5%?
I'd say Russian River has stepped up a lot. Purposely blending to lower the acidity a bit and recent bottles of their wild ales I've had were very brett forward and more balanced. Allagash is another one that leans more belgian with their wild ales. Tired Hands wilds are usually pretty balanced and don't lean too heavy either way. Hill Farmstead is another one. I dislike beers with a lot of acetic acid and can pick up on it really easily which makes a lot of american wild ales for me undrinkable.

I will add that they did a poor job when they were expanding/moving with their "club". That and taking all their beers putting them in different barrels and calling them sours doesn't help. Other than their annual Big Pour beer, which seems like they put less and less thought into it, and the couple collaborations when is the last time they made a new beer?
When you have such a solid lineup, you don't need new beers. When was the last time you had something new from Russian River?
