Promontory 2019

The 2019 Promontory enchants with a deep, brooding color that hints at the complexity within. On the nose, it exudes aromas reminiscent of a mist-laden forest, mingling fresh mineral notes with a whisper of ripe cherries and dark fruits. The palate experiences a symphony of flavors that unfold with each sip, starting with a burst of vibrant ripeness that gracefully transitions into a stream of dynamic energy. Brisk acidity and firm tannins create a sense of tension, gradually giving way to a bright and lingering finish. The wine's texture is velvety and profound, reminiscent of light diffusing through a cool, misty landscape. This vintage captures the essence of the season, presenting a wine that is both elegant and powerful, promising continued evolution over time.

Robert Parker - 97 Points

"The 2019 Promontory offers up slightly darker cherries than the red-fruited 2018, couched in a bed of foresty-minty notes and underpinned by crushed stone. At this stage, it looks more intense but otherwise similar to the excellent 2018, finishing long, silky and elegant, with mouthwatering freshness. Collectors should enjoy comparing the two years for decades to come."

Antonio Galloni - 98+ Points

"The 2019 Promontory is just as impressive as it always has been. Vertical in structure, with tremendous depth, the 2019 possesses notable textural intensity and tons of volume. Black cherry, plum, licorice, mocha, new leather and espresso are all amplified. Time has softened some of the Promontory edges. The 2019 is still very young, but it has come together very nicely."
