Korbin Kameron 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Moon Mountain District, Sonoma County

The Korbin Kameron 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with the weight of mountain air. A deep garnet hue ushers in aromas of cassis and ripe fig, entwined with lavender and a soft molasses echo—notes that feel both concentrated and familiar.

On the palate, black cherry transitions into espresso and cocoa nibs, with a grounding trace of leather. Though the fruit feels plush, it’s held back by taut structure. Tannins are firm, yet refined, lending the wine a frame of altitude-bred focus rather than brute ripeness.

This is Cabernet shaped by geological tension. Moonridge Vineyard perches above Sonoma Valley; iron-rich volcanic soils and cool fog-swept mornings give fruit crystalline lift and sculpted depth. Hand-harvested fruit aged 18 months in French oak—with half new—delivers concentration without softening lines.

The wine speaks of family too. Named for Mitchell Ming’s twins and grown on the ridge they play among, this is winemaking as legacy and landscape, cultivated by Phil Coturri and expression-tuned by Timothy Milos.

This Cabernet doesn’t roar—it resonates. It’s rooted in place, guided by lineage, and grounded in tension. Korbin Kameron 2019—mountain Cabernet that breathes, not bludgeons.
