2018 | Hess Collection | Allomi Vineyard Pinot Noir

Hess Allomi Pinot Noir is bright and engaging, full of red fruit aromas woven together with notes of cinnamon and sandalwood. Beautifully structured and lush, the palate is loaded with complete layers of cherries, brown spices and savory notes that surround silky tannins, persisting through a long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Pinot Noir Allomi comes from Carneros. Pale to medium ruby-purple, it comes bounding out of the glass like a young, excited puppy with notions of bright Bing cherries, black raspberries, fresh blackberries and mulberries with touches of tar, aniseed, lavender and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with red and black fruits, supported by soft, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with some earthy notes coming through.

• Wine Spectator: Hints of red licorice accent the dried berry and cherry flavors, with medium-grained tannins. Pomegranate and allspice details linger on the finish, with dark chocolate notes.

Producer Information

For over 40 years, The Hess Collection has been producing complex, elegant wines sourced from estate vineyards high on Mount Veeder and in the far reaches of the Napa Valley. It is from these rugged landscapes that The Hess Collection winemaking team crafts exceptional luxury wines. A pioneer by nature, Donald Hess was determined to defy convention and pursue winemaking at elevation. In 1978, he established The Hess Collection Winery on the site of one of the region’s oldest wineries on Mount Veeder. Although few in Napa Valley were cultivating vines at elevation, Donald Hess believed the volcanic slopes of Mount Veeder provided the ideal combination of soils and microclimates to yield elegant wines with rich, complex flavors. Today, the next generation of The Hess family continues Donald’s legacy at the winery's home on Mount Veeder.
