"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 crème 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. Drink 2024 - 2065."

Lisa-Perotti Brown, The Wine Advocate (January 2021)

"Initially subtle, aromas of wet rock along with native flora and lichen emerge vividly, mingling with airy notes of the forest canopy.
Wrapped in extremely fine tannin, the structure of this vintage evokes the image of a cathedral: intricate stone, cool to the touch, draws attention upward to soaring arches filled with light.
The flow over the palate is elevated by this luminous, detailed structure, to where the wine feels almost weightless.
As we are finding to be typical of Promontory, a mineral drive sustains and focuses its path into a lasting finish.
Even now, the 2016 vintage achieves a natural elegance, while its energy and stature promise a long and storied lifetime ahead"
