2017 Hess Napa Valley “Allomi” Cabernet Sauvignon ($32)

This is a repeat to Behind the Cork ™ but one that’s well worth a ‘revisit.’

This 2017 Hess Napa Valley Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Pope Valley in the north-eastern part of Napa. It’s named in honor of the original Spanish land grant in Napa County which the native Patwin people lent their name - Rancho Locoallomia.

On the nose, this Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon yields big fruit aromas of blackberry and boysenberry along with herbal and spice notes. And on the palette, oh my, this one’s amazing! Rich dark fruit flavors of black cherry and black plum, nice tannin, chocolate and a wonderful lingering finish.

This Hess Napa Valley ‘Allomi’ Cabernet Sauvignon is hard to set down. It drinks so smooth and rich. And, at this price for a Napa Cab, it’s an excellent choice! Cheers!
