Crafted in the prestigious terroir of Napa Valley, Harlan Estate was envisioned as America’s answer to the illustrious First Growths of Bordeaux. Yet, in a remarkably short time, it transcended this aspiration, earning its place as one of the world’s most sought-after cult wines, commanding prices that outstrip even the legendary Bordeaux Châteaux.

Renowned critic Robert Parker has awarded Harlan Estate a perfect 100 points on ten occasions, and the 2002 vintage marked a historic achievement as the first New World wine to secure 100 points for two consecutive vintages.

In contrast to the stately, classic Bordeaux-inspired elegance of the 2001 vintage, the 2002 is celebrated for its opulence, exuberance, and unparalleled vibrancy—hailed as the most flamboyant vintage of its time. Now in the final years of its first peak drinking window, as predicted by Parker, this masterpiece remains a perfect expression of its potential. It will effortlessly continue to age gracefully for another 20 years.

Boasting a finish that lingers for nearly a full minute, alongside an awe-inspiring structure and intricate, multi-layered texture, the 2002 Harlan Estate is nothing short of extraordinary.
