2021 Hess 'Allomi' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 375ml Half-Bottle

Winemaker Notes: The combination of steady heat and well-drained clay loam soils in our Allomi Vineyard allows fruit to ripen evenly, gaining welcomed complexity and layers of flavor. We consistently see beautiful yields from the Allomi Vineyard, and this vintage was no different. On the nose, this wine delivers delicious aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and elegant expressions of lavender alongside a touch of vanilla. Allomi Cabernet is concentrated upon entry with dense, but well-integrated tannin's that provide a round, plush mouthfeel. Layers of juicy black fruit, notably black cherry and black plum, lead to elements of espresso supported by a subtle oak spice that adds to the personality of the wine and reminds us why this is one of our most popular Napa offerings.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 2% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "Boysenberry and açaí berry fruit gives this a slightly exotic profile, but it's finely stitched with apple wood, sassafras and singed anise notes to keep it honest. The polished finish lets a chaparral note chime through the flashy fruit. This should have fans for sure. Drink now through 2036."


Wine Enthusiast - "This well-balanced, harmonious wine braces tasty dark plum, black currant and cedar flavors with moderate tannins and a good sense of freshness. Almost-sweet notes of milk chocolate, vanilla and cedar meld nicely with the ripe, delicious fruits."
