Cabernet Sauvignon 80%, Petit Verdot 7%, Cabernet Franc 6%, Merlot 5% and Malbec 2%
散發雅緻的花果香，晨曦青草和充滿森林的大地氣息。紅櫻桃、黑莓和黑醋栗的鮮果併隨之燻烤香氣湧現，單寧如鵝絨般的滑順且充滿活力。

JS 97 : Mesmerizing aromas of flowers, bark, currants and blackberries. So perfumed. You just want to smell it. Exquisite tension and finesse with an almost Burgundian texture, yet it’s Napa in its soul with ripe fruit, stones, spices and Chinese tea leaf flavors. Savory and delicious. Drinkable but better in 2020. Available on October 2017.
WA 96 : The Opus One 2014 Proprietary Red Wine sports an inky purple color and nose of crushed black and red currants, black cherries and mulberries with touches of underbrush, sautéed herbs and pencil shavings plus a waft of spice box. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and with an energetic line lifting the red and black fruits, it has a bold frame of grainy tannins and a very long, earth and spice-layered finish.

歲末年終  探索在”Harlan Estate”家族
C : 天涯海角 2012 Promontory (3入原木箱)
採用Cabernet Sauvignon及少量Malbec , Petit Verdot混釀
色呈石榴紅 散發著濕潤石頭、黑醋栗、松香氣息 酸度平衡 單寧柔順 尾韻綿長
WA 97 : The 2012 Promontory, which is the softest vintage to date, was slightly better this year than last year, as it had rounded out. It does not have the depth of the 2013, but it is a great wine on its own merits. Notes of new saddle leather, loamy soil, and crushed rock intermingle with blackcurrants, plum, tobacco leaf and spice in a full-bodied, wonderfully pure and large-scaled style with ripe, well-integrated tannin. It is accessible enough to enjoy, and in spite of its massiveness, it is certainly capable of evolving beautifully for 30 or more years.

酒莊緣起 : 1984年H. William Harlan先生，在加州Napa Valley產區創立哈蘭酒莊（Harlan Estate）和邦德酒莊（Bond Estates），釀造出享譽全球頂級膜拜酒。2008年再購入地處位於哈蘭酒莊以南的梅亞卡瑪斯山（Mayacamas Mountains）上，成立了普羅蒙特酒莊(Promontory)，並釀造該酒莊第一個年份的葡萄酒。2009年畢業於杜克大學(Duke University)的Will Harlan先生為現任莊主。

佔地面積為400公頃，包含32公頃的葡萄園，以種植Cabernet Sauvignon為主。其海拔高度比哈蘭酒莊高約150米，夾在兩條相當高的山脊之間，擁有多變化獨特的氣候，得天獨厚的風土，讓成立短短十年的Promontory酒莊，已數次榮獲得帕克團隊將近滿分的讚譽：

2012年份97分，2013年份99分，2014年份98分，2015年份99分，2016年份97-100分。
