Notes from the Winemaker

Reviews and Accolades

91 Points/Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.

88 Points/Wine Enthusiast
Aged in 30% new American oak, this is a likable, approachable and crowd-pleasing white wine that is perfumed and aromatic in apple and orange blossom. Caramelized apple, sweet oak and brioche rise on the midpalate, leading to a pineapple finish.
