More about the 2021 KAMEN MOON MOUNTAIN DISTRICT ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON: Kamen's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a cinematic masterpiece—an epic of power and precision, written by the land and directed by a man who knows storytelling like few others. When screenwriter Robert Kamen first encountered the wild slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in 1980, he saw a story waiting to unfold. With volcanic soils and wind-swept ridgelines, it was a rugged, high-altitude stage destined for greatness. Partnering with legendary viticulturist Phil Coturri, Kamen began shaping the vineyard like a screenplay—layer by layer—where the struggle of the vines yields fruit of striking intensity. Since its debut in 1999, Kamen's Estate Cabernet has become a defining voice in the Moon Mountain AVA—a district that whispers of the wild and rewards the bold. With each passing vintage, the wine has grown more nuanced, more layered—like the best kind of protagonist: complex, charismatic, unforgettable. In 2021, winemaker Mark Herold crafts a pure Cabernet Sauvignon as expressive as a finely tuned monologue. It moves with structure and grace, revealing scene after scene of black fruit, crushed rock, violets, and spice—each sip a nod to the mountain's raw beauty and Kamen's relentless pursuit of excellence. Winery Notes: "The 2021 Cabernet is a complex and layered wine. Intertwining aromas of black currant, wild blackberry compote, cherry, crème de cassis, violet and crushed rock are the first impressions from the glass. This brooding wine takes a few moments to reveal notes of Asian spice box, shaved baker’s chocolate and a loamy underpinning that adds richness. The palate offers stratified layers of candied black and purple fruits that unveil themselves beautifully. There is a savory opulence that will continue to evolve as this wine ages. A seamless Cabernet Sauvignon marked by grace and balance with fine grained tannins that linger long after the last sip."
