PROMONTORY NAPA VALLEY 2016

Arome su raznolike i složene, niti jedan primarni miris ne stoji iznad ostalih. Neki od suptilnijih aspekata počinju izlaziti na površinu: mokri kamen, grafit, koža i svježi začini. Svjetlije note stvaraju napetost u nosu koja se zatim prenosi na nepce. U početku je nježan i svilenkast, razvija se polako i ciljano u sintezu mineralnosti, svježine i vibrantnosti. Vino pokazuje svoj potencijal za starenje s ravnotežom strukture i lakoće, kao i latentni potencijal koji se otkriva tek s vremenom.

 

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.

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

Promontory je visokoprofilno vino iz Napa Valleya koja se sastoji od Cabernet Sauvignona koja raste na jugozapadnom grebenu Oakvillea . To je jedno od najcjenjenijih vina proizvedenih u Kaliforniji .

Imanje od 340 hektara, izolirano od ostalih vinograda u regiji, kupila je obitelj Harlan 2008. H. William Harlan otkrio ga je ranih 1980-ih dok je pješačio tim područjem.

Iako se proizvodi samo jedno vino Cabernet Sauvignon , radi se o kompliciranoj mješavini. Zbog varijacija tla, ekspozicije i nadmorske visine, kroz vinograd se napravi do 70 različitih prolaza kako bi se plodovi ubrali u optimalnom stanju. To rezultira proizvodnjom vina od 30 ili više različitih komponenti i odležavanjem u bačvi godinu dana prije miješanja.

Potom miješano vino odležava nekoliko godina. Neuobičajeno za SAD, Promontory koristi velike bačve od austrijskog hrasta.

Velika vinarija otvorena je 2017. Kombinira industrijsku praktičnost s velikim prostorima dizajniranim za ugošćavanje posjetitelja i događanja. Ovo predstavlja namjerno odstupanje od manje pristupačnih proizvodnih pogona Harlan Estatea i Bonda , ostalih marki u vlasništvu obitelji.

 

Promontory is a high profile Napa Valley wine label consisting of a single red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon vines growing on Oakville’s southwestern ridge. It is one of the highest priced wines made in California.

The 340 hectare property, isolated from other vineyards in the region, was purchased by the Harlan family in 2008. H. William Harlan had discovered it in the early 1980s while hiking the ridge but had been unable to acquire it. The fruit had previously been sold to other wineries. There are now around 80 acres of vines split across numerous plots.

Though only one Cabernet Sauvignon wine is made, it is a complicated blend. Because of the variations of soil, exposure and elevation, up to 70 different passes are made through the vineyard to pick fruit in optimum condition. This results in 30 or more distinct component wines being made and aged in barrel for a year before blending.

The blended wine is then further aged for several years. Unusually for the USA, Promontory use large casks from Austrian oak.

A large winery was opened in 2017. It combines industrial practicality with large spaces designed to host visitors and events. This represents a deliberate departure from the less accessible production facilities of Harlan Estate and Bond, the other labels owned by the family.
