Hess Select Allomi Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon – 2005 – 8.9 -James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez
A well polished bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon; there is a slight touch of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. This wine exhibits clusters of confit blackberry fruit, baking spices and a gentle underbrush–the tannins and acid are in harmony.
¡Salud!
