Impatient and impetuous souls may balk at chasing runaway trains and opt for hopping one that has not yet left the station. Bond, Harlan’s new Oakville project, will probably turn out to be the next superstar producer. For now the winery, which began taking orders earlier this year, consists of three highly acclaimed vineyards, each producing between 600 and 900 cases. Within the next five years, the winery will include six vineyards and will produce significantly more wine than Harlan Estate. At $150 a bottle, Bond is more affordable, and by all accounts should become a major player in the California wine scene. Although a separate venture from Harlan Estate, Bond is a favored relative. And, after all, we know that it is whom you know that matters most.Top 10 Allotment Wines
