Harlan Estate
Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Expressive nose of plums, blueberries, dark cherries, eucalyptus, volume, on the sweet side, superfine tannins and great length. Technically really well made. A bit expensive for my pocket

Wow! Almost hated to drink because the bouquet was stupendous. Rich fruit, earth, leather, and a hint of spice. This wine made Napa famous! The finish just lasted and lasted. Made every thing I said after finishing the glass sound witty and profound 😄

Excellent. 2013 was more complex and evolved given the years but this will get there. Lots of precision and power. Really great. Tasted at Harlan Estate
