The Hess Collection
Allomi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It's like your typical Cali Cab for this price point. Kinda similar to the (fake) Stags Leap.

Mar 6th, 2024Wine pours a dark maroon. Wonderful flavors of cherry pie, vanilla, and other berries and plum. Fairly acidic, moderate tannins and an excellent vegetable finish. The wine was a perfect complement to our prime rib and steak dinner the first night of our Christmas 2023 cruise. A definite rebuy-a good value in the premium Napa wines.

Beautiful nearly floral bouquet with lilacs and lavender. A bit bitter on the front end but quite smooth on the back. I toyed around with keeping this in the bottle at least another year longer. I’ll be curious how it mellows in the next 20 minutes.

Good berries up front with some good spice. A bit dry, but still young (2019). Will smooth out with some age. Decent valued cab. Will get some more to lay down for a few years.
