Proprietary Red

This robust and complex wine pairs well with rich dishes such as grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, complementing its bold flavors and firm structure.

The climatic patterns of 2014 endowed the Napa Valley with a mild winter followed by a consistently warm summer. This exceptional nurturing from Mother Nature fostered an early, swift but carefully measured harvest, eventually leading to the evolution of wines marked by plush richness and energetic fruit intensity. The 2014 Proprietary Red from Harlan Estate is a riveting testament of this charmed vintage.

The wine was aged for a minimum of 24 months in mostly new French oak barrels, enhancing its structure and complexity.

The winemaking process for the 2014 vintage involved meticulous selection and fermentation techniques to preserve the integrity and expression of the fruit.
