Hess Allomi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Napa Valley, California
winemaker's notes:
A consistent warm growing season ensures full ripening of the Cabernet Sauvignon
grown in the Allomi Vineyard. This wine expresses a lush yet firm texture with good
acidity, firm tannins and distinctive bing cherry and anise flavors.
This vintage displays ripe plum and black licorice followed by cedar, currant, and toast. The flavors are expansive starting with black cherry and finishing back to fleshy plum. The
texture of the wine lets you know it's a Cabernet; deep and concentrated, but supple tannins
round out in the after taste.
A complex and approachable wine that pairs with moist fish,
grilled meats, caramelized onions and wild mushrooms. This wine will best be enjoyed
from 2006-2010.
"Rich and dry in ripe cherry jam, blackberry pie, cassis, blueberry, smoky oak and spice flavors, it's a complex young wine that approximates the best of Napa Valley."
