THE COMPANY

Founded in 1984, Harlan Estate is developed on 97 hectares (of which 17 are planted with vines) in a unique context of the Napa Valley, being the only winery with a vineyard on the hill. These vines are located at an altitude between 70 and 375 metres a.s.l. with a 360° exposure (this is a unique case). Cabernet-Sauvignon (75%), Cabernet Franc (9%), Merlot (14%) and Petit Verdot (2%) were planted between 1985 and 1990 and are now in their prime, located on sedimentary soils with fractured flow rock and volcanic tuff. Harlan Estate produces only 20,000 bottles annually and is today a true icon of Napa Valley, with a powerful and rich wine which turns into a fine and elegant product after a few years..
