Hess’ Allomi Cab is reliably good if never quite as good as its sister Cab from Hess’ Mount Veeder Estate. This vintage of Allomi is true to form, showing good depth of blackberry and black currant fruit, somewhat rustic, chewy tannins and a gentle touch of oak spice as a back note. If you want a solid Napa Valley Cab and but need to go easy on the wallet, Hess Allomi is the ticket.
