“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. The Allomi Vineyard consistently delivers fruit of the highest quality, and this vintage was no different. On the nose, our Allomi Cabernet offers enticing aromas of currant, blackberry and elegant expressions of lavender. These aromas are complemented by layered flavors 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 our most popular Napa offerings.”
