Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
The 2008 Hess Allomi Cab offers up some serious depth amid layers of bold, flavor-filled dark fruit and rounds out with an overall intensity that is both engaging and demanding. On the nose you can expect blackberry and cherry with a solid splash of vanilla. The palate profile reveals a second wave of blackberry, plum, and currant wrapped in peppery overtones. This is a red wine that can handle the richer flavors of gorgonzola. Source: Stacy Slinkard, wine.about.com
