100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lastly, the 2019 Promontory matches the perfect 2016 from this estate and is legendary stuff. Ripe black fruits, chocolatey, lead pencil shaving, roasted herbs, and tobacco are just some of its nuances, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, concentrated mid-palate, ultra-fine tannins, and an incredible finish. It doesn’t get any better. This has the class of a First Growth from Bordeaux paired with a Napa sense of texture and fruit. It will evolve for 40-50 years. Drink 2023-2073 (Feb 2023)"
100 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2019 Promontory has a deep garnet-purple color. It is quite closed at the moment, needing a little swirling to reveal notes of crushed rocks, garrigue, iron ore, and lavender, leading to a core of black cherries, redcurrant jelly, and fresh blackcurrants, with a hint of mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is so tightly wound, delivering multi-layered black and red berries with mineral and earthy sparks, supported by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant. Drink 2028-2065 (Apri 2023)"
99 points James Suckling: "Purple-fruit, dark-licorice and conifer aromas follow through to a medium to full body with firmness and a linear flow that goes on for minutes. Racy tannins and focus. Give this until at least 2028. (Aug 2022)"
98+ points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Promontory is one of the most exuberant wines I have tasted off this property. Dense and explosive, the 2019 possesses remarkable depth and textural resonance. Succulent dark cherry, espresso, new leather, spice and mocha are pushed forward. The 2019 is a rare Promontory that will drink well right out of the gate. Drink 2027-2041 (Feb 2023)"
97 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Promontory offers up slightly darker cherries than the red-fruited 2018, couched in a bed of foresty-minty notes and underpinned by crushed stone. At this stage, it looks more intense but otherwise similar to the excellent 2018, finishing long, silky and elegant, with mouthwatering freshness. Collectors should enjoy comparing the two years for decades to come. Drink 2025-2045 (Mar 2023)"
