🏰 The 2009 Promontory, the estate's inaugural release, is a 【magnificent Bordeaux-styled red, praised for its notes of burning embers, scorched earth, and black fruits】. This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend is dense, masculine, rich, and full-bodied, built for long-term aging with remarkably well-integrated tannins. It opens to a powerful, exceptionally layered bouquet of ripe blackberry covered in dust, older cedar box, and tobacco spice, evolving with elegance and a sweetness of fruit. 🍴 This rich and powerful wine is an ideal match for robust dishes such as prime rib, dry-aged New York strip, braised short ribs, or lamb rack. It also pairs beautifully with mature and hard cheeses. 🥂 Perfect for a significant milestone celebration or a serious wine collector's tasting. This wine is built for the long haul and should age for 25+ years, showing early signs of aromatic development with sweet tobacco, licorice, menthol, and new leather.
