Nestled high in the hills behind Dominus, Bill Harlan's Promontory is one of the most fascinating estates in all of Napa Valley, as it represents a microcosm of geologies, soils, exposures and microclimates. It will probably be a generation before the true personality and potential of this site are understood. In the meantime, we have these wines to document Harlan's early stewardship of the land. Promontory is Bill Harlan's most experimental wine - not just because of the rugged nature of the terrain, but because it is here that the most adventurous vineyard and cellar techniques are being tried out. In the cellar, tasting Promontory from large ovals, the wine often recalls some of the great traditionally made, classic reds of Europe. As has been the custom now for the last few years, my recent visit included a retrospective of all the commercially released vintages.
