Napa Valley Value
The combination of steady heat and well-drained clay loam soils in the Allomi Vineyard allows fruit to ripen evenly, gaining welcomed complexity and layers of flavor. On the nose, our Allomi Cabernet offers enticing aromas of currant, blackberry and elegant expressions of lavender. Juicy black fruit are met with plush, well-integrated tannins, espresso and a hint of oak spice.
