Ready to kick ass and take names. This wine is brilliant. Nose of blackberry, chocolate, iodine, flint. Full bodied palate of youthful and thick black fruit, espresso bean, almond, hint of licorice, hint of mint. Finishes with a slightly tame acidity, black pepper and still fairly youthful tannin. This wine doesn't seem like it has aged much at all. For a 2012, does not taste anywhere close to 6 years post vintage. Moon mountain fruit is hard to beat when done well. This wine is a 'must have' in your cellar. Went really well with turkey dumpling soup!

Oh. My. God. The concentration and generous opulence right after popping the bottle made my knees weak a little. Damn this is some badass wine. WOOF!

This is a fantastic cab! It's a baby but it is bursting with fruit, structure and length of finish! Should be able to lay down for a long time.

Simply delicious! Let it breath and the wine will open up and reward you. Great structure and velvet smooth. Has great character with nice fruit and soft spices. Made surf and turf for my wife accompanied by this 2012 Kamen!

Xmas Eve dinner! Wow, this is one powerful baby!! I love a bold, "rip your head off" cab, but this steps it up multiple notches! Give this like 10+yrs and it will be awesome!! Didn't think I could ever find something to over power me, this totally did!
