2015 Promontory Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2015 Promontory Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (99JS, 99VN, 98JD, 98RP, 97DC, 96JA, 96WS). Vinous: "The 2015 Promontory is just as magnificent as it has always been. Tasted next to current releases, the 2015 shows the riper style of the year, and also a bit more oak influence from the new casks the estate was moving to during this era. Dark-hued fruit, graphite, leather, dried herbs, lavender and a touch of oak open with a bit of coaxing. More than anything else, I am so impressed with the quality of the tannins, by far the biggest challenge the Harlan family faced in the early days of making wines from this rugged hillside site. If I think back to the 2008, the first vintage here, and wines I tasted prior to release, the progress made at Promontory in under a decade is nothing short of remarkable. (AG)" (11/2025)
