Dave Allen, Stephen Brook e Terry Kandylis provaram 197 vinhos, sendo 10 excelentes e 63 altamente recomendados…
Se houve uma coisa sobre a qual os jurados estavam de acordo durante esta extensa degustação, foi que 2015 é uma excelente safra para Cabernet Sauvignon no Califórnia .
Houve, no entanto, um pesar considerável que algumas regiões significativas apresentaram poucas ou nenhuma amostra. Havia alguns vinhos de Sonoma , mas muito menos do que em edições dos anos anteriores desta degustação e Paso Robles, muitas vezes uma fonte de Cabernets de bom valor para beber relativamente cedo, era notável por sua ausência completa.
O excelente desempenho dos dois vinhos de Santa Cruz mostrou que os provadores não têm nenhuma fixação por Napa, e foi bom ver dois vinhos suculentos de Santa Bárbara.

Cal Cab: Os fatos
Total de plantações de uvas para vinho na Califórnia: 257.900ha

Plantações de Cabernet Sauvignon em Napa Valley: 8.771ha (47% das plantações)
Cal Cab: Conheça suas safras
2016 Um verão frio foi seguido por um setembro quente que acelerou o amadurecimento. Excelente Cabernet com vinhos concentrados e estratificados.
2014 Um verão quente, embora não excessivamente quente, rendeu Cabernets vibrantes com taninos finos.
2013 Uma estação de crescimento normal, mas pequenos frutos e cascas grossas deram Cabernets maduros mas tânicos que precisam de tempo.
irmã esposas os recém-casados vs os marrons
2012 Um ano de amadurecimento uniforme e rendimentos generosos. Uma vindima precoce, resultando em vinhos flexíveis e generosos.
2011 Uma floração difícil significava uma pequena colheita após um verão bastante fresco. A chuva na colheita exigia que muitos produtores separassem as frutas não colhidas. Vinhos muito bons, mas inconsistentes.
desossa a joia da coroa
2010 Uma estação de crescimento fresca e tardia, dando vinhos de acidez fresca e álcoois moderados, mas estilisticamente controversos.
