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.
Hess Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon offers enticing aromas of currant, blackberry and elegant expressions of vanilla. These aromas are complemented by layered flavors of juicy balanced fruit, most notably black and red cherry and raspberry. Plush, well-integrated tannins provide a round, delicious mouthfeel, and lead to elements of cocoa powder supported by a subtle oak spice, adding to the personality of the wine and reminding one why this is one of their most popular Napa offerings. Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petite Sirah, 2% Petit Verdot.
Critical Acclaim
91 James Suckling
This widely available, generous and spicy wine offers fresh, tangy red fruit and deeper black fruit on a full body backed by moderate tannins. it's very accessible in taste and, for Napa Valley, in price. The red cherry, cedar, clove and vanilla bean flavors are delicious and lingering.
90 Wine Enthusiast
Dripping ripe dark fruits mix with sweet cocoa for a flavorful wine that reveals cracked pine and cherry tobacco through the finish.
