Promontory Penultimate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2016

"Will Harlan describes Penultimate as a wine made from blocks that haven’t quite reached the fully realized vision required for Promontory. Penultimate is a more accessible version of its bigger sibling. The personality of the vintage and the site are very clearly evident. Power and structure define the 2013, but the 2013 is also a transitional wine that still shows some of the vestiges of the early approach here, especially in its tannins. The 2014, on the other hand, is translucent, finessed and all class. The 2015 shows the natural concentration of a vintage marked by low yields and intense heat." - Vinous
