A pioneer by nature, Donald Hess was determined to defy convention and pursue winemaking in the far reaches of the Napa Valley. In 1995, he sought out the Allomi Vineyard with a vision to uncover its potential. Once a dormant beauty, the Allomi Vineyard now gives life to luxury Napa Valley wines. The estate vineyard is located in the gently rolling hills of northeastern Napa Valley. The 210-acre vineyard is focused into 35 unique growing blocks with six different Cabernet clones that add diversity of flavours and complexity to this wine.
The combination of steady heat and well-drained clay loam soils in their Allomi Vineyard allows fruit to ripen evenly, gaining welcomed complexity and layers of flavour. The Allomi Vineyard consistently delivers fruit of the highest quality, and this vintage was no different. On the nose, Allomi Cabernet offers enticing aromas of currant, blackberry and elegant expressions of lavender. These aromas are complemented by layered flavours of juicy black fruit, most notably black cherry and black plum. Plush, well-integrated tannins provide a round, delicious mouthfeel, and lead to elements of espresso supported by a subtle oak spice, adding to the personality of the wine and reminding us why this is one of their most popular Napa offerings.
