2014 Promontory Red Wine Napa Valley California USA Wine Tasting Note

Dark, but not inky in color, the wine shoots out its nose of blackberry, black cherry, touches of fig, cigar wrapper, smoke and dark chocolate with ease. On the palate, the wine is powerful, rich, intense, deep, concentrated and full-bodied. Texturally, the wine is lush, warm but not hot and perfectly balanced between its levels of intensity, freshness, round textures and a wall of chalky tannins. This is young, tannic and age-worthy, so give it plenty of time in the cellar before popping a cork.
