James Suckling Review
Rated 92
A brooding nose of coffee, blackcurrant, gravel and baking spice. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Articulate and expressive on the palate with balanced, lifting acidity and minerality. Melted dark chocolate and roasted sage. Drink or hold.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Allomi Vineyard is relatively young, and it has one thing that Cabernet Sauvignon surely loves: some heat, and a long, lingering growing season that allows fruit to ripen slowly on the vine, gaining complexity and layers of flavor. On the nose, this wine delivers intriguing vegetal aromas with hints of mushroom and forest floor. On the palate, Allomi Cabernet is known to deliver moderate, well-integrated tannins and a round, plush mouthfeel making it one of our most popular Napa offerings. A wonderful brightness of raspberry and red plum delight the mid-palate, and these flavors are supported by a subtle oak spice that adds to the personality of the wine.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petite Sirah, 2% Petite Verdot, 5% Malbec, 2% Merlot
Alcohol 14.4%
