Dumol Moon Mountain Cab

Repris

Moon Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2018

We always love Repris Cab Franc but today’s bottle was exceptional. Maybe it was Father’s Day, or our outside patio setting was exceptional with great weather but in any case a great wine. — 7 days ago

Repris

Left Bank Moon Mountain District Red Blend 2018

We started the evening with a Repris Cab Franc which was a nice primer to our favorite Left Bank. It was great to share with friends. I’ve been drinking this brand since 2016 & has never disappointed. We went on to the Heritage Clones Cab afterwards to top off the evening. — 2 years ago

Theorem Vineyards

Hawk's Prey Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

9.3

Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.

Theorem was one of our highlights last year, so we made sure a return visit was lined up this year. Base of Diamond Mtn with one of the most beautiful properties I’ve seen. Over the last 12 months, they’ve added a couple new wines (with more to come from Moon Mountain). TRB is the winemaker.

This is Theorem’s “entry level” cab. 100% Cabernet from young vines on their diamond Mtn estate. Just like the 2016 vintage, this is made in a decadent and ripe style. Showing the entire fruit spectrum from red, blue and black with baking spices (vanilla, nutmeg), sandalwood, and freshly dipped dark chocolate fruits are all on display. Soft yet well built structure allows this to be very approachable early on but can hold easily for a couple years and still be quite youthful. Not quite as chalky/dusty as the 2016. This 2017 shows more concentrated fruit and a slightly more sweet finish compared to the structured and slightly more tannic 2016.

Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Spectacular moon mountain cab. I love Cabernet Sauvignon from this AVA. Good minerals and fantastic fruit on the palette. This is fantastic now and would age well in the bottle for a few more years. If you see this, grab it! — 7 years ago

Moon Mountain Vineyard

Sonoma County Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This poor vineyard. Wedged in between two of Sonoma’s best vineyards but mistreated for years. Mountain fruit. The first whiff took me back to being in their caves. The Petit Verdot comes out. Lots of red and black fruit coming out with spice and cedar/cigar box. Still so rich. The oak is fully integrated, very fine tannins. Excellent balance. At its peak, with many more years to go. A medium to big cab, sensuous, but structured, not overdone. One of my favorite wines for sentimental reasons. Perhaps not a “great” wine, but so what? There’s a lot of pleasure in this. There isn’t much mountain fruit like this from Sonoma. Drink or lay down. I’ve got a vertical. — 6 years ago

Montecillo Vineyard Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

I very much enjoyed this. It shows black cherry, espresso, black olive, and earth. It is moderately acidic and has good length. I perceived less alcohol than the 14.1% on the label. My kind of California Cab that shows balance and restraint. — 7 years ago

Kamen Estate Wines

Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

An excellent Cab from Moon Mountain. This vineyard sits on the Sonoma side of Mount Veeder, right off the border of Napa and is known for it’s extremely rocky terrain and it’s famous farmer Phil Coturri. Had this one in magnum and it’s starting to open, but plenty of improvement in bottle still to come. Rich and brooding and packed with black fruit. Moderate acidity and some mild tannin. A well made wine that will reward for the next 15yrs and beyond. 🌝 ⛰ — 8 years ago

Montecillo Vineyard Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. By far, the best Moon Mountain Cabernet I've had over the course of 34 years and it's not even close. Power, finesse, structure, development, balance, potential. Generally not a Sonoma County Cab fan with the older, Patrick Campbell produced/overseen Laurel Glen Cabs (1985-1994) being the main exception. 08.15.25. — 10 months ago

Have you had Kamen’s Moon Mtn cabs? Those stand out as being worthy of a bottle of two. Haven’t tried this one from Dumol but generally enjoy their wines.

@Shay A I’ve got a Kamen MM on the current list but don’t remember which one exactly. Recall them both as being worthy and similar stylistically.

Schug Winery

Rancho Salina Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Beautiful Bordeaux #sonomavalley Moon Mountain AVA blend by Schug; 48% #merlot / 45% #cabernetfranc / 5% Cab/ 2% Petit Verdot - mesmerizing aroma featuring violets, bramble fruit, white pepper, earth - well-concentrated fruit on the palate that brings up coffee, chocolate and jammy notes but all framed nicely with robust acidity but soft tannins in the finish. This is what a Sonoma Valley Bordeaux blend should be. — 6 years ago
