2007 The Napa Valley Reserve Red Blend, Napa Valley, 6ltr [TNVR - Exclusive Member Only]

The Napa Valley Reserve is a private wine club founded by William Harlan, owner of Harlan Estate Winery.
"Needless to say, anything that comes from the hands of the talented and hard working Bill Harlan turns into gold. For sure his Harlan Estate is a modern classic, one of the very best wine estates in California, and Bond is almost there as well. The Napa Valley Reserve is a unique member only wine, created by Bill Harlan in 1997 and since then a slowly growing wine club with the goal to reach 300 members. It's very easy to become a member - you only need to get a personal invitation from Bill himself, and of course pay the onetime fee of 160,000 dollars. The winery is situated next to the luxury resort Meadowood in eastern Napa Valley, and grapes (predominately low yielding Cabernet Sauvignon) are sourced from their own vineyard as well as from Harlan Estate and Screaming Eagle (I guess), which now is part of this extraordinary venture. These are among the rarest wines in United States, and they are of course not commercial. Nevertheless, they are great!." Michel Jamais
