The Harlan Estate is inky black with a purple edge and offers a beautiful earthy aroma with blackberry and cherry, lavender, followed by deep, lush, majestic flavor that caresses the palate with refined tannins. Classic earth, oak and laurel character on the nose, along with dark fruits such as currants and blackberries. Forest flowers too. Full to medium body, linear and tight with coolness and freshness. What balance and intensity. Tight in his younger years but full of energy and length. Incredibly sophisticated and seductive. A pleasure to taste now, but try it in 2025, but it is no problem to keep it in the cellar for another 35 years (but that would be a shame).
Note - the Harlan Estate is an absolute cult wine of which only a maximum of 1500 cases are made annually. Approximately 85% of production remains in the USA and the remainder is distributed among official importers. There are currently more fake Harlan on the market than the real Harlan Estate, so be extremely careful. If the wine has a price that is too-good-to-be-true, it is almost always certain that this is not real and is therefore extremely expensive. As an importer, we receive the wines directly from Harlan Estate and have therefore not made a world trip via many places all over the world in containers in often questionable conditions (hot, cold, etc.) that cannot be checked (as well as on the well-known auction sites). ). Click here to verify the authenticity of the bottles using the code on the label. The Harlan Estate is packaged as standard in a beautiful wooden box with 3 bottles (OWC), but can also be ordered per bottle if desired.
The 2019 vintage is one of the most beautiful vintages and has received 100/100 Parker & 100/100 points from James Suckling, so the wine journalists are quite unanimous.

End of March 2023, The Wine Advocate
The head-spinning 2019 Harlan Estate is truly amazing stuff. Gentle cedar notes lead into layered dark chocolate and cassis, somehow impossibly rich yet savory. Full-bodied, concentrated and supple, this is dense, packed with flavor but seemingly weightless, with a lush, lingering finish that combines intensity with freshness to compel sip after sip. Like all truly great wines, it's full of somehow harmonious contradictions.
Founded in 1984, Harlan Estate is woven into the western hills of Oakville, with 40 planted acres set amid scrub and forests from 325 to 525 feet above sea level. Up a sparsely marked private road, it's an undulating oasis in the hills, with views over the valley from select vantage points. As proprietor Bill Harlan pointed out, one of the unique aspects of Harlan is the team that constitutes the heart of Harlan. Founding director Don Weaver joined in 1986, director of winegrowing Bob Levy, in 1988. Current winemaker Cory Empting was hired in 2001, and the "newcomer" is Will Harlan, Bill's son, who joined full-time in 2012. "That continuity has been a huge thing for us," said Bill, as we caught up on the close to 20 years since we'd last chatted.
The vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (20%), Cabernet Franc (8%) and Petite Verdot (2%), but when asked about the varietal makeup of the 2019 Harlan Estate, Weaver expertly deflected. "We're not trying to express varietal character; we're trying to express a specific place."
My afternoon with the Harlan team also included tastings of the Bond and Promontory wines, listed separately.

From: Napa Valley: The Frantic 2020s & Stunning 2021s (Feb 2023)
The 2019 Harlan Estate is supremely elegant. Bright floral accents perk up a core of red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, sage and mint all run through the 2019. Medium in body and gracious, the 2019 is all energy. It's not so much a wine of a vintage, but rather a wine that reflects the personality of a place and style. Time in the glass brings out the wines breath and resonance, yet notable freshness and verve remain. This is one of the more delicate, nuanced wines readers will taste from 2019, a year that generally yielded wines of opulence.
- By Antonio Galloni on October 2022
Two thousand-twenty will likely go down a seminal vintage at Harlan Estate, Bond and Promontory. More than just a story of a single vintage, 2020 has set a new direction for these properties. The team led by Managing Director Will Harlan and Director of Winemaking Cory Empting faced the same challenges as everyone else, but the results aren’t the same. These are some of the very few 2020s I can call exceptional. The entire crop was harvested much earlier than usual, by necessity. Over time, the team was so happy with the wines that harvesting is now much earlier than it was in the past, but by choice.
I have written for many years that the Harlan Estate wines have been moving towards greater freshness. Two thousand-twenty is a big step in that direction. I also had a chance to revisit the 2012 and 2002, which is even more interesting in that while those wines were made during different eras, there is a recurring theme that connects the wines across time. Perhaps that is an expression of place, or of a house style, maybe both. But it is quite evident. Last but certainly not least, the bottled 2019s turned out beautifully.

Harlan Estate is perhaps the ultimate icon of Napa Valley. Founded in 1984 by Bill Harlan, nestled in the hills of Oakville, it has grown into one of the world’s most sought-after cult wines.
The story begins with Bill Harlan, a true adventurer. Before turning to wine, he flew airplanes, raced motorcycles, and traveled the world. During a trip to Bordeaux in the 1970s, he had a vision: California needed its own “First Growth.” That became his life’s mission. In 1984 he purchased land in Oakville and started a project whose first commercial vintage only appeared in 1996, after years of experimentation. Today, Harlan Estate has become a multi-generational legacy, with his son Will Harlan now leading the estate.
The estate sits in the western hills of Oakville, right in the heart of Napa Valley. In total, Harlan Estate spans 240 acres, of which only 40 acres are planted with vines. The rest remains wild nature, forests, and rugged hillsides. The vineyards rise between 68 and 374 meters above sea level and are rooted in a fascinating mix of volcanic rock and ancient sedimentary soils. This diversity creates a complex terroir that shows in every bottle.
Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Together they form a blend that balances power, elegance, and depth. Fermentation uses whole berries and native yeasts, followed by more than two years of aging in French oak barrels. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration. The result? Year after year, Harlan scores between 97 and 100 points from the world’s leading critics.
Production is tiny — only around 2,000 cases a year. Most of it stays in the United States, with just a small allocation reaching official importers worldwide. This rarity also makes the wine a target for counterfeiting. Since 2004, every bottle has carried a unique code for authentication. Holding an original Harlan Estate bottle is like holding a piece of wine history.
Beyond the flagship wine, there are other icons: The Maiden (the estate’s second wine), the BOND wines (each from a specific Napa terroir), Promontory (a separate estate just west of Harlan), and The Mascot, launched in 2022. Each has its own character but is made with the same philosophy. As official importer of Harlan Estate, we also carry these wines, distributed through the Place de Bordeaux and available only via selected dealers.
You can order Harlan Estate and the other Harlan projects at Grandcruwijnen. All bottles are stored in a fully conditioned Wine Warehouse. Choose Pick Up at checkout in Dordrecht and you’ll see the direct discount applied to your order.
