Introducing the exquisite 2019 Tesseron Estate Pym Rae Napa Valley, a red wine that exudes elegance and complexity. Crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, this proprietary blend showcases the best of Mount Veeder, a renowned sub-region of California's North Coast.

With its deep purple-black color, the 2019 Pym Rae is visually captivating, drawing you in with its richness and intensity. Upon swirling, the wine reveals its true character, with bold and enticing aromas that dance from the glass. Notes of crème de cassis, black cherry compote, and blueberry pie immediately command attention, followed by subtle hints of clove oil, lilacs, licorice, and tar. A spicy waft of cumin seed adds an intriguing layer of complexity.

On the palate, the Pym Rae delivers a sensory experience like no other. It is full-bodied, yet vibrant and energetic, showcasing the brightness of fruit. Fragrant floral notes intertwine with minerally sparks and exotic spices, creating a symphony of flavors that captivate the senses. The wine's taut backbone of invigorating acidity is matched by firm, ripe, and grainy tannins, providing structure and balance. The epic long, multi-layered finish lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression.

Certified organic and biodynamic, this vintage represents a milestone for the estate. Only about 20,000 bottles were produced, making this wine a true gem. It is set to be released in autumn 2023, allowing enthusiasts to savor its opulence and complexity.

Renowned wine critics have already recognized the greatness of the 2019 Tesseron Estate Pym Rae. The Wine Independent awarded it a perfect score of 100, hailing it as the epitome of opulence. Jeb Dunnuck praised its exotic fruits, elegant mouthfeel, and substantial tannins, predicting a bright future for this wine over the next two decades. James Suckling, with his keen sense of taste, commended its aromatic profile, compacted fruit, and supple yet structured nature.

For those who appreciate the artistry of winemaking and seek out the finest expressions of Napa Valley, the 2019 Tesseron Estate Pym Rae is a must-have addition to any collection. With its limited availability and exceptional quality, this wine promises to take you on a journey of sensory delights. Embrace the opportunity to experience the pinnacle of Mount Veeder's viticultural achievements with this extraordinary red wine.
