{"product_id":"2018-promontory-penultimate-napa-valley","title":"2018 Promontory, Penultimate, Napa Valley","description":"Promontory's Penultimate is born from the Harlan family's commitment to a distinctive, rugged Napa Valley territory, characterized by its unique convergence of volcanic, sedimentary, and metamorphic soils across dramatic slopes and varied exposures. Cultivated with meticulous dry-farming and hand-tended vineyard stewardship, the estate's limited plantings within this isolated canyon benefit from a cooler microclimate and consistent morning fog, fostering extended physiological development. The 2018 vintage, defined by a long, moderate growing season without significant heat spikes, allowed for seamless phenolic development, ensuring ripe tannins at balanced sugar levels and excellent acid retention. This deliberate viticulture and patient maturation in large Austrian oak casks yield a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend with a profound textural density, energetic acidity, and a precise architectural framework that reflects its mountain origin. Penultimate, composed of mature vineyard blocks, delivers a wine of early generosity yet retains the inherent structural integrity and age-worthiness of the Promontory estate.","brand":"Armins Rusis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628802228472,"sku":"19363","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2018-promontory-penultimate-napa-valley","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
