This 2017 is the latest release, a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petite Sirah, 2% Malbec, 3% Petite Verdot and 2% Merlot and the wine aged in 27% new American oak for 18 months.
The Winemaker Dave Guffy describes the wine this way "On the nose, this wine delivers delicious aromas of blackberry, boysenberry and elegant expressions of lavender alongside a touch of vanilla. Allomi Cabernet is concentrated with dense, but well-integrated tannins that provide a round, plush mouthfeel. Layers of juicy black fruit, notably black plum and black cherry, lead to elements of bittersweet chocolate supported by a subtle oak spice that adds to the personality of the wine and reminds us why this is one of our most popular Napa offerings.”
