Still a plush, dark fruited beaut! — 8 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! — 8 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. — 10 years ago

Yet another killer wine from the Balkans that will contribute to pushing this region toward the top. A dark, juicy Cab with nice tannins; very smooth. Am beyond pleased ! However the price point is high in comparison to other Balkan wines that are of equal quality. — 4 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.

2012 Sine Qua Non Touché Estate Syrah. Pairing well with Gail’s Tie dye designs (tiedyebygail.com). Amazing Syrah for the actual birthday meal at Ca Bianca in Santa Rosa. We really needed this vacation after working the Pacific Dream Machines show with her tie dye vendor booth. Best winery visits were Kamen, b-wise, and Mumm. After two nights of Granache, gobsmacked by this Syrah. — 3 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! — 10 years ago
