Tasting Notes

Antonio Galloni 99

The 2016 Promontory is every bit as magnificent as it has always been. A wine of dimension and breadth, the 2016 is so captivating in the way it engages all the senses. Unlike many Napa Valley Cabernets, Promontory, especially in structured years like 2016, really benefits from aeration. That time brings out striking floral and mineral nuance while releasing the fruit as the tannins gently melt. Hints of sage, lavender, graphite and mint lend brilliance to this beautifully sculpted, taut Cabernet Sauvignon. What a wine. [Antonio Galloni, 07/01/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2041

Wine Advocate 100

Deep garnet-purple, the 2016 Promontory comes barreling out of the glass with bold scents of black cherries, blueberry pie and licorice, leading to a slowly emerging core of creme de cassis, dark chocolate, black soil and truffles plus touches of cumin seed, mossy bark and beef drippings. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with muscular fruit, backed by a rock-solid structure of very firm, exquisitely ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic tension. The finish is both powerful and beautifully nuanced, hedonic and cerebrally gratifying. This singularly stunning expression of Napa Valley is to be released by the winery in 2021. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 04/01/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2065

Sophisticated nose and great lift and life. Lots of extract and dry appetising tannins. (Not the richness, sweetness and roundness of Harlan.) Good energy. [19/02/2020]

Anticipated maturity: 2023-2037
