($75) Saturated medium ruby. Slightly reduced nose offers cassis, blackberry, mocha and chocolate. Ripe and deeply pitched but with more definition and lift than the Neyers Home Ranch cabernet. A big, chocolatey wine with a positive medicinal quality and good juicy framing acidity. Here the tannins are broad and sweet.

The proprietary blend (although in this case it's 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from specific sites from the home vineyard) is the 2006 Ame, which means 'soulâ?� in French. A beautiful black currant nose with hints of spring flowers, licorice, and spice are present in this full-bodied wine with beautiful fruit, sweet tannin, and a long, heady finish. This is very serious Cabernet that should drink well for 15-20 or more years.

Ripe and robust, intense and concentrated, with a full-bodied mix of black cherry, plum, dusty berry, mineral, anise and sage. This is focused, with a long, layered finish.
