Hess Family Wine Estates
Allomi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
2019 It was decanted for several hours and I think that made all the difference in the world. It was soft and silky, but full bodied and fruity - plum, blackberry, creamy smooth finish. Lovely.

Sunday night quaff, and this was surprisingly disappointing. The remaining 3/4 bottle will be dispatched.

Bold, rich and smooth red fruit and herbaceous aromas, very consistent from opening to tasting within. 30mins of being uncooked. Well-structured with a smooth finish. Plums are noticeable after acclimating the palate. Solid texture.

Bright, grapey, but too safe - it's just not that interesting. Widely available, and designed accordingly.

Pepper berry, cranberry/Black raspberry (the acidity but not the tartness), cocoa nib. Light to medium bodied—makes you have to focus, which is great. An enthusiast’s wine.

Demi bottle. Damn good stuff- almost convinced me that some mainstream Napa cab lives up to it's reputation.
Complex finishes and subtleties, more there than most.
