Incredible aromas of blackcurrants black cherries black olives lavender violets hazelnut and black tea. Forest floor. So complex. Full-bodied with wonderfully integrated tannins that are ultra-fine and melt into the wine spreading across the palate. Perfectly meshed. This has real presence and energy. Cool wet stones mountain air and dark fruits make up the palate. November 2024 release. It will need three to four years to come around. Try after 2028.
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
The 2020 Promontory is a medium to full-bodied concentrated 2020 that certainly does well in the vintage even if it lacks the vibrancy of a truly great vintage from this estate. With everything harvested by September 21 it has a rich powerful bouquet of ripe black fruits graphite scorched earth and subtle violet and floral notes. Medium to full-bodied on the palate it has plenty of mid-palate depth lots of minerality and firm tannins which are common in the vintage. 12/23
