@ Capital Grille Wall Street. Needed 1.5 hours to really open up. I had this at Promontory last year and in comparison the wine feels a bit more shut-down, lots of upfront spice and alcohol that needed swirling to harmonize. Deep primary fruits and feels less unique to the Promontory mountainside terroir and more of a generic, good Oakville. Giving my other 2 bottles at least 3-4 more years to sleep.

Wonderful wine from my favorite West coat winery. Deep garnet / crimson color. Deep red fruited nose is caressing and voluptuous. Sultry. The palate is still a bit tight and tannic but the texture is there. Should blossom in five years or so. I love the freshness these wines show while showcasing CA fruit and texture. (93)

Still youthful purple. Blackberry fruit mixed with fresh cream and some earth. The depth is outstanding but so is the uplifting acid. Drinking well. PRetty darn terrific. (94)

Wonder rich texture of dark fruit balanced tannins and acidity. Nice secondary notes of oak and tertiary notes of earth.

Like Promontory proper, a rather savory and herbal character, with graphite and sage and cedar and spice. Medium-full body with balanced acidity.
