Notes:

The Napa Valley Reserve is an ultra-exclusive private wine club founded by William Harlan of Harlan Estate and Bond. Members include many prominent celebrities and politicians.

Membership costs over $150,000 and members are invited to join lavish dinners, and enjoy the wine-making process.

Members must also purchase an allotment of wine each year, and this wine is not allowed to be resold by its members for risk of losing membership privileges.

This is why you never see these bottles come up for sale.

The wine is spectacular, designed for consumption by the worlds most discerning tastes. The quality of Napa Valley Reserve is equivalent to Harlan Estate in anyone’s opinion who’s tried it.

The blend is Bordeaux in style, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and possibly Cabernet Franc.

How good is this bottle of wine you may ask? Well it’s made just the same as Harlan Estate. Same wine maker, same equipment, same style. So its safe to assume it will be as good or very close. For much much less money and a higher rarity! I’ve tried this wine and it is amazing!

For reference, the 2013 Harlan Estate was 100 Points Robert Parker. Here is the tasting note from the 2013 Harlan

As I predicted last year, the 2013 Harlan Estate is one of their all-time greats, although they have had many of them, starting with the 1991, followed by 1994, 1995, 1997 (although controversial in some circles), 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2012. This great first-growth property, with aspirations to produce the finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine made in the New World, has given us a wine that has it all in 2013. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of espresso, white chocolate, mocha, blackberry, cassis, and cedar wood, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, but also structured, pure and incredibly long (well past a minute aftertaste). It is probably closest in personality and overall character to the compelling 2001, which is still a youthful wine at age 15. Drink it over the next 50+ years. (RP) (10/2016)
