2017 Promontory, Penultimate, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

Antonio Galloni for Venous Media writes, "The 2017 Penultimate is an absolute delight. Naturally, it shows the mid-weight structure of the year, but that adds to its immediacy. Crushed flowers, sweet red-toned fruit, cedar, mint, pomegranate, plum and orange peel add an exotic flair. The 2017 is very easy to drink and like." Published Dec 1, 2023
"This is an intriguing set of wines from Promontory. David Cilli is one of the most talented winemakers in Napa Valley. His 2019 is once again ravishing, while the 2020 shows just how little he had to work with in this very challenging vintage. I also had an opportunity to taste the two most recent vintages of Penultimate, the more accessible of the two wines off this stunning property in the Mayacamas Mountains."
