The same clones, the same soil, yet totally different than the regular Kamen Cab. The lava block has more cooling Bay influence making this brighter and more direct. Fascinating study in #terroir

I really enjoyed this wine. By that I mean I finished it by myself in short order! Great nose that says come drink me. A fruit forward (black fruit abounds) massive effort with a fair amount of nuance. Soft tannins but a little light on the acid. Definitely aging well from relatively young vines.

To celebrate the end of a terrible cold ... nothing could have been better so smooth so well-rounded big beautiful integrated fruit and tannins just top notch. A lot of plum Cocoa cinnamon chocolate all the good stuff! Great nose great finish!

Just a fantastic wine. Unfiltered and carries essence of the lava rocks. Rich, dark and explosive. Silky smooth. You must try it if you can find it!

Tasting Room pour. The Syrah and Estate Cab were excellent, but the designate Cabs were eye-opening. This one from a microclimate block composed mostly of volcanic basalt.

Dark rich color, medium body...balanced tannins with plum, raisin, berries, cocoa flavors that remain in tact for a long finish. Organic grapes perform well in this really good wine. 14.7% A.b.V.
