There have been many great Allo years. This one is just ok. We probably missed the window. Maybe drink these by +2-3 years after vintage instead....

Big, ripe fruit with a somewhat interesting middle and a decent finish.
The spicy black fruit of the Mourvedre and Syrah really shows through on the nose. And then Syrah on the palate as well. Smokey and dark. It good and big, just not sure who would buy it.
70% of a Rotie Cellars Southern Blend at 50% the cost (no slam at RC), nice musky Grenache that is easy to drink.
(see all 13 vintages)
