Still a plush, dark fruited beaut! — 5 years ago

Violet meniscus. Hedonistic blackberry, blueberry and truffle nose. Entry is full throttle blackberry pie, blueberry and vanilla. Youthful. Crushed rock limestone type of middle on a dense blackberry core. Tannic, yes, but sweeter side...almost a cinnamon graham cracker finish that is full and long. Not too sure where this vineyard is located compared to Kamen but this could be an identical twin...at a 45 dollar price tag! Emailing to see how much more of this is available, if any! — 6 years ago

Intense citrus aromas with notes of pear, apricot and wet stone. Big, rich and dry on the palate. Flavors of lemon and lemon zest and citrus oil leads to deep, stone minerality, grassiness and full, deep acidity with just a hint of oak. The finish is incredibly dry and zesty with intense length and depth. — 8 years ago

Man, this cab had my taste buds singing hallelujah! Like rich, melted dark chocolate and raspberries, cedar box on the nose, dry tobacco leaf, cinnamon, dried fig, and a HUGE body, with a well integrated tannin and a gripping finish. Mark Herold, you're a monster of a wine maker! Of course a bit different from Kamen or Heston, but it's clearly his bigger than life style. This should age very nicely and is still aproachable now. Advocate gave it a 93 and so will I! — 8 years ago

Big fruity beast. Needs time in a decanter but this wine is going to be good for a long time. — 9 years ago

A new project called 3 Corners. One corner is in Israel, one is a double-secret location somewhere between here and Antarctica and this corner is from Kamen Estate's Lava Block #moonmountaindistrict — 9 years ago

Great minds think alike. Big, delightful, generous. Ample expression of violet, touch of macerated blueberry, with a touch of #scottmelnick Magic when called upon! — 6 years ago

1984 where were we All? This cab fooled us all. On opening it had a very closed no flavor nose. Within 45 minutes it emerged with flavors of plum, a touch of woodiness and a hint of cassis. At 33 years of age, it was surprisingly good. I guess wines were made to age that long ago. Bravo to Henry who brought it and Mr Kamen who originally bought this. Also Buehler Family well done.

Love this 2001 Kamen Sangiovese. This wine is seemingly at its peak right now. Beautiful fruit with an earthy backbone and still-present but fine tannins. Smooth. Oh so smooth — 8 years ago

Another beautiful wine from a stellar vintage Eric Baugher is on top of his game. Cola, blue fruit, seem less and long on the finish. Will reevaluate day 2. Favorite cab next to Morgan's (bedrock) Kamen vineyard. — 9 years ago

This is off the charts phenomenal. Spice, pepper, dark fruit. Very herbaceous. Just lovely. Far too young to enjoy this one fully but couldn’t wait... — 6 years ago

My good friend Will Burkholder (Fine Wine Vault) gave me these 2 Kamen's to taste side by side. Will introduced me to Kamen about a year ago. Why I did not know about Kamen before is beyond me. Okay, these are two very different wines. Both excellent! The nose on the Kashmir is to die for. It is silky smooth--ready to drink now and for years! The Lava is bolder and more layered. It may be a couple of years early to crack open the Lava. I love both! — 7 years ago

The same clones, the same soil, yet totally different than the regular Kamen Cab. The lava block has more cooling Bay influence making this brighter and more direct. Fascinating study in #terroir — 9 years ago

Awesome, Bob Kamen and Phil Coturri brought this in and shared, why cant we make wines like this here? Mushroom and forest floor on the nose, subtle nuances of fruit and earth on the palate, gorgeous... — 9 years ago
