Love the wines. I really like what they are doing. I tasted the 2015 out of barrel and thought it was going to be a really good wine. Took my full allocation. BTW, the tasting experience there is second to none, starting with one of the most stunning wineries you will ever visit.
Was mailed a VERY EXPENSIVE marketing package from them detailing their vision, the land and their dedication to everything wine. The paper stock was something from Dubai royalty. The stamp alone was $5. Aaaaaaaaaand it was to tell me I didn’t make their allocation. Spare no expense…
I’m on their founders list, I signed up when I visited the winery last fall, but only for one bottle a year. I haven’t tried any other “high end” Napa Cabs like Harlan, Screagle, etc, but this one is elegant, smooth, complex unlike anything I had tried prior to visiting the winery (which is why I signed up for an annual allocation). I plan on making Promontory my annual Xmas wine once they start getting a few years on it.
Personally, I have no clue. But I’ve been wanting to make a visit to the winery ever since they opened, so hopefully I’ll get more insight if I get the opportunity to visit later this year.
I erroneously signed up a few years ago, thinking I might get to purchase some almost-Screagle-juice for about $100/bottle or something. How wrong was I. Offer just the other day for a 3-pack for $1800 (gulp). But if anyone wants it, let me know.
