Sell your Harlan Estate.
Bill Harlan set out to make a first growth in the hills above Oakville, and Harlan Estate is the result. We buy it, along with the family's BOND wines and Promontory.

How we price Harlan Estate
Harlan ages slowly, so older vintages that stayed cool are the ones collectors chase. Tell us the vintage and how the bottle has been kept.
BOND and Promontory are priced on their own. Mixed lots are welcome; we make one offer for all of it.
How selling wine works
Tell us what you have
List each wine with its vintage, size and fill level, and add a photo of the bottle upright at eye level.
Get a firm offer
We price every bottle and send one written offer for the lot, usually within 48 hours.
Ship it, get paid
We send a free shipping kit, insured both ways. We inspect the wine when it arrives and pay you in 5 to 7 days.
Where should the fill be?
Wine slowly drops in the bottle as it ages. A high fill tells us the cork has held and the wine was kept well. Here is how we read it, on the two bottle shapes.
Bordeaux bottle (straight shoulders)
Good fill
- Into the neck
- Base of the neck
- Top of the shoulder
We look closely
- Upper shoulder
- Mid shoulder
- Low shoulder or below
Burgundy or Champagne bottle (sloped)
Good fill
- About 1 cm below the cork
- About 2 cm below the cork
- About 3 cm below the cork
We look closely
- About 4 cm below the cork
- About 5 cm below the cork
- 6 cm or more below the cork
A lower fill is not an automatic no. Older wine sits lower, and we look at every bottle on its own.
