About This Vineyard
Kamen Estate is located at elevations reaching 1100′ to 1450′ in the southwestern Mayacamas Range, on the southwestern slopes of Mount Veeder, with the Napa County line less than a quarter of a mile away. This mountainous terrain was formed by ancient volcanic activity. Four different lava flows defined the area creating soil variations so extreme, that one end of a vine row can be markedly different from the other end providing a complex range of growing conditions. With the shallow depth of soils and prevalence of rock, the vines fight for survival, creating intense, flavorful fruit.
The viticultural practice of dropping fruit and maintaining yields at 1.5 tons per acre assure maximum flavor and concentration. From its inception, the vineyard has been farmed using only organic methods and is officially certified as such by the State of California.
