Un excellent rouge. A la fois puissant et aromatique, il se doit très bien se porter à l'Élysée ! — 8 years ago

Fresh tobacco leaf and gentle spice box on the nose. Full bodied and full tanic ride to a nice deep red fruit and earth finish. I like this wine a lot. — 8 years ago
Well done Ames! Not your typical over extracted California fruit bomb but balanced and almost more Bordeaux like in complexity. Don't drink a lot of young California Cab but I'm generally enjoying 2012 much more than 2013 but that could be the extra year in bottle. — 9 years ago

Baby moon-iversary at Ames Hotel. Absolutely delicious, keeps opening and getting better and better — 11 years ago
What a surprise. Thanks for the awesome recommendation @Ron R. I get dark fruit, vanilla and brown sugar on the nose. Vanilla and blackberries dominate the palate with mouth drying tannins and a nice acidity. Smooth and nice. I let it breathe in my glass (which means not long) and it definitely opened up after it had been opened for a while. This is really nice and got it for a steal on LB. Huge fan of Jeff Ames from Tor and delighted to try his own wine. Very nice. Will have to check out some of the single vineyard designates. Any suggestions from the group on which one to try for first? Happy New Year's Eve to all. — 8 years ago
