The 2019 Château Pym-Rae is a textbook Mount Veeder Cabernet with its exotic red, blue, and black fruits as well as complex notes of mountain scrub brush, lavender, tobacco, and lead pencil. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine yet substantial tannins, and a great finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Pym-Rae is made up of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot, all aged in a combination of 45% new French oak barriques and small (260-gallon) concrete tanks. Impressively ripe and concentrated, it offers scents of cassis, violet and hints of dark chocolate on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky-smooth, framed by dusty tannins on the long, focused finish. Yes, it’s somewhat Bordeaux-like in shape, but it’s fully ripe, with black cherries emerging on the finish, along with the slightest touch of alcoholic warmth.

• James Suckling: Extremely aromatic with flowers, currants, plums, and cocoa. Full-bodied with compacted fruit and ultra-fine tannins giving it a suppleness and finesse, yet it’s very structured and long. Turns to sandalwood, hazelnut and subtle currants. Round and velvety texture at the end. Slightly deeper and denser.

Producer Information

Pym-Rae, Tesseron Estate. In 2016 the Tesseron family (Alfred and his two nieces, Mélanie and Philippine), from France, purchased actor Robin Williams estate at the end of Wall Road on Mt Veeder.Alfred trained with oenologist Emile Peynaud at the University of Bordeaux, Talence Campus and later moved to and worked in the U.S with the intention to only stay 6 months; ultimately, he stayed for 6 years working in wine and spirits importing, beginning in Florida for a French company and later for an American company. His time was spent traveling the country.Pym-Rae was the name that Williams originally gave to the vineyard portion of the estate – choosing to honor his first two children Zachary Williams and Zelda Williams by combining their middle names.
