AME “ahm” (French for “soul”), is a fitting description for such an intense Cabernet. You can expect a wonderful dusty like berry cuvee, black currant, and black cherry with subtly integrated licorice, spice, and sage on the nose that continues on the palate with a long complex finish and healthy tannins that can easily be enjoyed today with intensity, or in 10 to 15 years for a softer mouthfeel and a complex fruit structure one could only imagine.
The heart of this wine is reflective of the hillsides and valley floor from which it’s birthed, located in the hills east of St Helena at elevations ranging from 300 to 1200 feet . Bruce and Barbara Neyers (founders of Neyers Vineyards in 1992) have been dedicated to sustainable organic farming since 1998, with the reward yielding richer, more complex, and more flavorful fruit matched by few competitors, not to mention the improvement of overall soil health and crop viability promising consistent quality for years to come.
You can expect to see this Cabernet Sauvignon for anywhere from $70 to $80 per bottle (more than a fair price for such quality, organic care, a limited 550 case production, and the personalized attention of renowned winemaker Ehren Jordan from Turley Cellars). Be it a gift for a great friend or for yourself, or to pair with a quality marinated steak, Neyers Cabernet Sauvignon AME is sure to impress!
