Allomi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
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.

Jan 8th, 2024Bright, 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.

Jun 2nd, 2023Demi 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.

The Hess Collection ‘Allomi’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2014: Medium-full bodied. Great structure & tannins. Bold dark fruits. Complex flavors of blackberry, plum, vanilla, tobacco, leather & oak. Nice smooth & long finish. Overall, a true Napa Valley Cabernet, at an amazing price point. It was an elegant & delicious vintage which definitely punched above its weigh class. Great week to all! Cheers🍷
