Promontory 2014 1.5L

Promontory 2014 is a wine of exceptional character and longevity. Its deep red color, with a brilliant reflection along the rim, sets the stage for an extraordinary tasting experience. The nose reveals a captivating interplay of aromas, with hints of graphite, wet stone, and fresh spices mingling seamlessly with the fragrance of dark berries, particularly cassis. On the palate, this wine demonstrates precision and tension, driven by a mineral acidity that gracefully traverses from front to back. The tannins, gaining definition, are artfully integrated with the fruit's density and freshness, resulting in a harmonious and vibrant finale. Promontory's signature structure is evident, combining elegance with controlled strength. This remarkable wine promises to evolve gracefully over the next half-century and showcases an athletic balance that is truly captivating.

"This 2014 is being released in November 2019. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2014 Promontory bursts from the glass with bold, brazen notions of crushed blackcurrants, black raspberries, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with a compelling perfume of rose hip tea, sandalwood, unsmoked cigars and dried lavender. Full-bodied, super intense and yet wonderfully ethereal, it has a firm line of very fine-grained tannins, tons of freshness and incredibly vibrant, crunchy fruit, finishing long with bags of energy."

"I knew it was only a matter of time before Davide Cilli would make a wine at Promontory that would represent the maximum expression of this rugged hillside site. The 2014 Promontory has been exceptional in the past, but it has also gained another gear or two over the last year, which is pretty much now standard for these wines. Stunningly delineated and precise, with tremendous purity and exceptional balance, the 2014 Promontory dazzles from start to finish. This is an especially translucent style, one that is more about persistence and balance than power alone. Stated simply, the 2014 Promontory is towering achievement from one of Napa Valley's most talented young winemakers. Kudos to the Harlan family and the winegrowing team led by Bob Levy and Cory Empting for creating the framework that allowed Cilli to craft this exquisite, riveting Cabernet Sauvignon."
