About Harlan Estate
In 1983, when Bill Harlan bought an estate in a steep, forested area of Oakville, his aim was to create a Napa Valley First Growth. Whether he has come that far is open to argument, but he certainly has come close.

Good red-ruby. Wild aromas of currant, game, earth and mothballs, with a bit of leathery funk. Highly concentrated and very ripe, with a slightly chunky texture and a distinctly chewy quality. But this also boasts sweet fruit and lovely violet lift. Finishes with substantial, building tannins and plenty of thrust.
