This unique wine is a member only wine created in 1997 by Bill Harlan of cult wines Harlan Estate and BOND. The winery is situated next to the luxury resort Meadowood in eastern Napa Valley, and grapes (predominately low yielding Cabernet Sauvignon) are sourced from their own vineyard as well as from Harlan Estate. These are among the rarest wines in United States. Since made by the Harlan Estate and BOND winemaking team at the Napa Valley Reserve, the wine was subject to the same exacting standards as other wines in the portfolio: aged in new French oak barrels, racked once to blend, and bottled without fining or filtration. The Napa Valley Reserve 2008 bottling is a classic blend of Bordeaux varieties, predominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
