The Story

Harlan Estate For nearly three decades, Harlan Estate has been committed to creating California "First Growth" wine estate.

Set on the western hills of Oakville, rising above the fabled Napa Valley bench lands, the estate is over 97 hectares of natural splendor; oak-studded knolls and valleys, roughly fifteen percent of which are under vine, planted with the classic varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Wine Information

A superb growing season. Lower-than-normal rainfall (21 inches), mostly late in the winter. spring was dry. Budbreak occurred april 17. a cool summer (only two days over 100° degrees and just twenty-six days over 90°) followed by an even cooler september, which allowed for a slow and deliberate ripening and a very reasonable harvest pace (september 4 through October 11).

Sisäpiiritietoa

93 points Wine Spectator: "Tight and complex, with a firm, focused mix of mineral, dried currant, herb, sage and cedar. Full-bodied, intense and persistent, ending with a complex, layered aftertaste." (11/2010)

93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "As outstanding as the 2008 is, it is eclipsed by the brilliant 2007 The Maiden, perhaps the finest second wine yet made here. Sweet tobacco leaf, fruitcake, creme de cassis, black currant and licorice aromas emerge from this round, opulent, voluptuously textured wine. It is very much in keeping with the 2007 vintage. Enjoy it over the next 10-15 years." (12/2010)

92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Good deep ruby-red. Currant, cedar and graphite on the nose and palate. Pliant and showy already, with compelling sweetness of fruit and a fresh minerally quality giving juiciness and lift to the middle palate. Long and ripely tannic. This is freakishly good for a second wine." (05/2010)

91 points James Suckling: "Aromas of green coffee beans, vanilla and ripe berries follow through to full body, with loads of new wood and ripe fruit. Full bodied and full throttle. Bottle age to mellow the wood is a necessity here." (02/2011)
