Growing up in wineries and vineyards, Bill Harlan's son, Will, didn't set out to be a winemaker. But he found a love for blending and has been at it with this project since 2008. The fruit is from younger vines on Harlan's three Napa estates - Promontory, BOND and, of course, Harlan itself.  Harvest and winemaking happens alongside the "big" wines until Will selects barrels and blends this for both immediate appeal and mid-term (perhaps a decade) of aging.  In short, it's the perfect Harlan wine to drink while the more famous bottles are cellaring - or instead of them for those of us who find Harlan's $1,500+ price a little too rich.

The 2018 edition is the most powerful we've tasted to date, with big, firm, steak-friendly tannins that will soften with time and allow the wine to remain fresh for years. Dark chocolate, blackcurrant, sweet spice and juicy blackberry aromas and flavors pick up an accent of oaky caramel on the gripping finish.
