NAPA’S NEW BLOCKBUSTER WINERY: PROMONTORY VERTICAL TASTING

Will Harlan, the director of Promontory winery in Napa Valley, talks about the terroir of Promontory and how it and the other Harlan properties – Harlan Estate and BOND – came into being, and then goes through a vertical tasting of Promontory's flagship wine with James and his masterclass as part of Great Wines of the World Autumn Edition 3.Promontory is one of the most unique wine-growing endeavors in California’s Napa Valley. The estate lands were first discovered by Bill Harlan in the 1980s, who perceived the potential for something special, and the vineyards were purchased by the family in 2008. Since then, the second generation, led by Will Harlan and director of wine growing, Cory Empting, have been working to understand the wild character of the land, and faithfully translate it through the wine.Promontory Napa Valley 2012Promontory Napa Valley 2013Promontory Napa Valley 2014Promontory Napa Valley 2015Promontory Napa Valley 2016
