Kamen 2021 “Lava Block” Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate Sonoma 97 Points

Vinous 97 Points: “The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lava Block is a potent, explosive wine. Rocky soils yield a potent, intensely mineral-drenched Cabernet Sauvignon. Crushed rocks, graphite, chocolate, lavender, incense, and crème de cassis all race across the palate, supported by salivating acids and big yet well-balanced tannins.” ”

Mark Herold WInemaker: “A kaleidoscopic array of aromas capture the attention. Unending layers of black cherry, currant, raspberry, and intense violet intermingle with notes of crushed rock, apricot, and pencil lead. Lavender, black cardamom, and new suede add a dynamic interplay of savory qualities. The palate is oozing with black and purple fruits and the hallmark minerality races across the tongue. The opulent flavors are supported by mouth-watering acidity and fine tannins. Sophisticated, complex, seamless. This wine is just beginning to reveal its elegance and complexity. A wine for the ages.“
