Jeff Ames may be a quiet, thoughtful guy from Alabama, but man does he make some SEXY world-class Napa Cabernet! 96+ points from the Wine Advocate and worth every silky, concentrated one of them! We got as much as we could of this blockbuster from the one of Napa's best vintages ever and it's comes with our most enthusiastic endorsement.

The Kaley Elizabeth is named for his daughter, the lucky little bugger. Very much in the style Jeff makes for clients like TOR (check out all those scores!), they are big, intense wines with succulent and silky texture. In 2013, a great and powerful vintage, this has killer grip and length to complement the lushness. Wow! Only a few cases to go around!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A killer effort from Jeff Ames is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Kaley Elizabeth. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon from clone 7, this is a beauty, aged in a combination of new Taransaud and Darnajou cooperage. Inky, opaque blue/purple in color with notes of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, creosote, charcoal and graphite, the wine is full-bodied, multilayered, deep, powerful, concentrated and moderately tannic. Give this wine 5-8 years of bottle age and drink over the following 35-40+ years, as it is a keeper.
