Tasting notes
It’s funny that the highest-rated wine is from the Moon Mountain District in Sonoma (which is on the backside of the Mayacamas Mountains), rather than any of the sites in Napa. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain is a stunning wine for a vineyard just north of the Kamen property. This is all volcanic soil in this area and the wine shows notes of scorched earth, charcoal embers, blackberry, cassis, licorice, pen ink and a huge full-bodied mouthfeel with terrifically sweet tannins and low acidity. This deep, full-bodied, multilayered wine should drink well for at least two decades or more.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain District has matured into a soft, perfumed red. Dark red cherry fruit, leather, spice and cedar lend notable aromatic presence throughout. This attractive Cabernet needs to be drunk now. While the 2014 may hold for a little while longer, it is not going to improve.
