2015 Kamen Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain Vineyard District

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet) charges out of the gate with exuberant notes of minted cassis, baker’s chocolate, blackberry pie and preserved plums plus hints of lavender, pencil lead and cedar. Full-bodied, rich and wonderfully lifted in the mouth, the black-fruited palate has a grainy backbone and long, lively finish. 1,100 cases produced.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, authoritative wine. The black cherry, savory herb, cedar, smoke, tobacco and incense notes are all given super flavor and textural intensity. Plush and explosive in the glass, the 2015 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own, but it is gorgeous, even at this early stage.
