Highlights

Dense and intense, this Napa Valley 2013 red shows a full body of fruit layered with wet earth, spice, dried mushrooms, pine needles, cedar, and truffles. Its beautifully crafted tannins give it vivid energy and structure, with James Suckling noting it is already very attractive and likely to improve further with time.

Promontory Red Wine Napa Valley 2013

Aromas are diverse and complex, with no single primary scent standing above the rest. Some of the more subtle facets are beginning to surface: wet stone, graphite, leather, and fresh spices. Brighter notes create a tension in the nose that then transfers to the palate. In the beginning it is gentle and silky, developing slowly and purposefully into a synthesis of minerality, freshness, and vibrancy. The wine shows its potential for aging with a balance of structure and lightness, as well as a latent potential only to be revealed with time.

Critical Acclaim

99 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The best wine so far (although I suspect the 2015 may ultimately enter the picture as well) is the nearly perfect 2013 Promontory Estate. It is simply richer and fuller, with greater integration of tannin, and tastes spectacular. With an opaque, dense purple color and notes of graphite, wet rocks, blackberry and blueberry fruit, some charcoal, and again, loads of spice and loamy soil nuances, the wine has great intensity, a full-bodied texture, and finely grained, sweet tannin. This is a stunner and again, accessible, but its best days are probably a good decade away, as this could very well turn out to be a 40- to 50-year wine.

97 James Suckling

This has a dense and intense palate with beautifully crafted tannins that frame a full body of fruit and wet earth, spice and dried mushrooms. Undertones of pine needles and cedar. Some truffles, too. Vivid and energetic. New Napa here. Better in 2022, but already very attractive. Drink or hold.

93 Wine Spectator

A flash of singed mesquite starts this red off, followed by a lush set of warmed plum, blackberry and fig preserve flavors all coated with a bittersweet chocolate note. A warm earth note underscores the muscular finish. Has more oomph than purity, but this has drive and focus.
