Dave Allen, Stephen Brook og Terry Kandylis smagte 197 vine med 10 fremragende og 63 stærkt anbefalede ...
Hvis der var en ting, som dommerne var helt enige om under denne omfattende smagning, var det, at 2015 er en fremragende årgang til Cabernet Sauvignon i Californien .
Der var imidlertid betydelig beklagelse over, at nogle signifikante regioner indsendte få eller ingen prøver. Der var nogle vine fra Sonoma , men langt færre end i tidligere års udgaver af denne smagning og Paso Robles, ofte en kilde til værdifulde Cabernets til relativt tidligt at drikke, var iøjnefaldende af dets fuldstændige fravær.
Den fremragende præstation for de to vine fra Santa Cruz viste, at smagere på ingen måde er Napa-fikseret, og det var godt at se to saftige vine fra Santa Barbara.

Cal Cab: Kend dine årgange
2016 En kølig sommer blev efterfulgt af en varm september, der fremskyndede modningen. Enestående Cabernet med koncentreret og lagdelt vin.
2014 En varm men ikke alt for varm sommer leverede pulserende cabernetter med fine tanniner.
2013 En normal vækstsæson, men små bær og tykke skind gav modne, men garvede cabernetter, der har brug for tid.
vinder af masterchef us sæson 5
2012 Et år med jævn modning og generøse udbytter. En for tidlig årgang, der resulterer i smidige og generøse vine.
2011 En vanskelig blomstring betød en lille afgrøde efter en temmelig kølig sommer. Regn ved høst krævede, at mange producenter sorterede ikke-plukket frugt. Meget gode men inkonsekvente vine.

2010 En kølig og sen vækstsæson, der giver vine med frisk syre og moderate alkoholer, men stilistisk kontroversielle.
