Pym-Rae Tesseron Estate Red Wine Mount Veeder Napa 2016

Pym-Rae is just oozing with name-drops and provenance. The estate was purchased in 2015 by Alfred Tesseron, owner of Pontet-Canet in Pauillac, from the Robin Williams Estate.  The vines were planted in 1990 with world renowned oenologist Michel Rolland as the consulting winemaker.  The 100% dry farmed vines give flavors of black tea, cigar box, black currants, violets, and plums.  A firm structure built for aging supports aromas that are never-ending in the glass!
