Description
"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 vanilla. These aromas are complemented by layered flavors of juicy balanced fruit, most notably black and red cherry and raspberry. Plush, well-integrated tannins provide a round, delicious mouthfeel, and lead to elements of cocoa powder 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.” -Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
Pairing
Baked feta cheese parcels, Thai cucumber salad or spinach gratin with almonds.
Aromas and Flavours
Black currant
Sometimes also referred to as 'cassis', this black fruit tasting note is common in red wines.
Blackberry
A little sweet, a little tart, this black fruit is rather quiet but persistent.
Cherry
Fresh B.C. cherries out of the back of a truck, all eaten before you can get them home!
Raspberry
Tangy or sweet, juicy or tart: more sophisticated than a strawberry, but just as lush.
