Kamen 2018 “Kashmir” Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate Sonoma 97 Points

Vinous 97 Points: “The 2018 Kashmir is a heady, unctuous Cabernet Sauvignon. Even with all of its raciness, the 2018 comes across as impeccably balanced in this style and not at all overdone. Jammy dark fruit, chocolate, spice, lavender, and sweet French oak build effortlessly in the glass. Kashmir is a rich, heady Cabernet—there is no doubt about that—but it is also less pushed than most previous editions, with a sense of proportion that is notable.”

Mark Herold WInemaker: “A tsunami of aromatics! The 2018 Kashmir rushes from the glass with mineral-laden fruit aromas of blackberries, black raspberries, currants, and ripe strawberries. Effusive notes of violets, roasted almonds, black cardamom, crushed rocks, mocha, and new suede add a heady elegance. Stratified flavors of black and purple fruits are framed by super supple and satisfying tannins resulting in an echoing display of power, balance, and elegance through to the last sip and beyond. While this wine will cellar well for decades, it’s difficult to resist drinking now.“
