This Oakville winery thrived from 1885 to 1919, until Prohibition scared its founder away. In 1979, the 250-acre estate was purchased by the Nickel family, which continues to run it today.
Promontory is the latest winemaking venture from Bill Harlan, the entrepreneur and wine impresario who founded Harlan Estate in the late 1980s. Promontory is a Cabernet Sauvignon blend sourced from an Oakville vineyard.
