Clocking in at a whooping 15.4% alcohol, this signature Jeff Ames masterpiece hits on all marks. The grapes from this Hillside Single Vineyard were picked extremely late, coming in like raisins, which resulted in magically inky, immensely rich, decadent Cabernet worthy of a special occasion.
“In just over a decade, Ames has become one of Napa's rising stars.”

Massive wine. Huge weight. Dark fruit bomb. Almost too heavy. A bit one dimensional out of the bottle. Let's see how it ages. Right now, I'd only pair it with very assertive foods and dark meats. — 6 years ago
Good potential. Heavy tannins for a pinot. Needs time — 5 years ago
Dusty red fruit. Needs time to mellow or drink now with BBQ grilled red meat — 5 years ago
Delicious! Fruit forward and meaty — 9 years ago
