The aroma of Allomi Cabernet offers enticing notes of warm vanilla, strawberries, and cedar, complemented by subtle spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg from the oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is initially delicate and reminiscent of tea, then transitions to a juicy, fruity flavor with hints of cocoa and a subtle cedar finish. Dusty tannins give way to velvety notes of vanilla and wild berries, creating a smooth, long-lasting finish.
The 2023 vintage is characterized by one of the longest growing seasons in the past decade. Mild weather led to above-average yields. Thanks to heavy winter rains, reservoirs were full and the soil was saturated. Winter rainfall provided the vines with much-needed moisture as they awoke from their winter slumber. Cool weather and sunshine allowed for slow ripening, resulting in deep and vibrant flavors.
