More about the 2013 KORBIN KAMERON MOON MOUNTAIN DISTRICT CABERNET SAUVIGNON When a wine brings together a world-class winemaking team, a legendary grower, and a truly singular vineyard, the story almost tells itself. Korbin Kameron’s Mount Veeder fruit is farmed by Phil Coturri, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of sustainable viticulture in California. Sonoma Magazine famously called Coturri “the ubiquitous wizard of sustainable winemaking,” and his client list includes some of Napa Valley’s most exacting estates, among them Harlan and Araujo. In the cellar, the wines are shaped by Tim Milos, whose résumé includes crafting acclaimed vintages at Opus One, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, and Cliff Lede, a pedigree that speaks directly to precision and restraint at the highest level. The vineyard itself is nothing short of remarkable. Perched along a ridgeline near the summit of Mount Veeder, it straddles the Mayacamas Mountain Range at roughly 2,300 feet in elevation. This dramatic setting delivers intensity without excess, while Coturri’s organic, biodynamic, and sustainable farming ensures the site’s character is expressed with clarity and purity. The result is fruit that reflects its mountain origins honestly, shaped more by place than by intervention. The Cabernet Sauvignon is planted to the renowned Clone 337 and Clone 7, selections prized for their structure, depth, and aromatic complexity. These vines thrive in well-drained gravelly loam soils, benefiting from generous daytime sunshine followed by cool maritime influences each evening. This natural rhythm allows Bordeaux varieties to ripen slowly and evenly, building concentration while preserving freshness, and setting the stage for wines of power, balance, and unmistakable mountain identity.
