Reviews and Ratings

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

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
