The Hess Collection Chardonnay Allomi Napa Valley 2018 750 ML

The 2018 Chardonnay Allomi opens with pronounced waxed lemons, applesauce, poached pears and crushed cashews scents with hints of baking spices and cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, the palate brings all the aromas into focus with well-defined stone fruit and toasty flavors and a zippy line of freshness, finishing on a lingering nutty note.n Producer Informationn 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. Today, the next generation of The Hess family continues Donald’s legacy at the winery’s home on Mount Veeder.
