Harlan Winery, one of the most well-known cult wineries in the United States, has been rated as "The Ultimate Cult Winery" and ranks Harlan Winery in the Napa Valley wine classification by American Fine Wine Magazine.
 
Located in the Oakville sub-region of Napa Valley, Hallan Winery covers 97 hectares of land with vines covering 17 hectares, of which 70% is Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, and the rest is divided between Cabernet Franc and Verando. At harvest time, Château Harlan is divided into plots and fermented according to the ripeness and quality of the harvested grapes, and the fermented juice is aged in new French oak barrels for two years, bottled without clarification, and bottled for one year before being released to the market.
 
Most of the wines mentioned above are single-varietal wines, such as Patus Merlot and Roaring Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, but in fact, winemakers often blend different grape varieties in order to create a balanced and rich body. Among the many blends, Bordeaux blends are the most popular among California winemakers. Château Harlan currently produces two red wines, both of which are Bordeaux blends.
 
The winery's flagship wine, Château Harlan's dry red wine, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and other grapes, which can be called the representative of American worship wine. Robert Parker is a big fan of this red wine, which is massive, with pronounced tannins, suitable acidity, sweet aromas of black berries, and depth and complexity. The price of Harlan winery wine is relatively close to the people, with an average international price of about $1,000 before tax, and it is available on JD.com, but the year is unknown, and the price is 8,800 yuan.
 
Château Harlan is very strict in the control of its main wines, and those grapes that cannot pass the selection will be used for its "sister wine", The Maiden, which is aged for 10 months in new French oak barrels. The girl's first vintage was 1995, released in 1999, and now has an average annual output of 900 boxes, with an average international price of $321 before tax, and more than 2,000 yuan in China.
