Description

Promontory Red 2012
Bottle (3)

A collection of mostly California gold from a frosty, professionally stored facility from out in the West Texas town of El Paso. Bid with full confidence.

"Notes of new saddle leather, loamy soil, and crushed rock intermingle with blackcurrants, plum, tobacco leaf and spice in a full-bodied, wonderfully pure and large-scaled style with ripe, well-integrated tannin. It is accessible enough to enjoy, and in spite of its massiveness, it is certainly capable of evolving beautifully for 30 or more years." (97 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Oct. 2016)

"The 2012 Promontory is a very good wine, one that belongs to the early days here. It was the first wine to be aged partially in cask (50%) and signals a move towards the style that would come into focus more clearly with the 2014. Starting to show the first signs of aromatic development, the 2012 is also a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Plum, espresso, mocha, new leather and a touch of French oak linger." (95 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)
