Harlan Estate, 2017 The Maiden, Napa Valley

WS 95 "This has dark plum, boysenberry and blackberry compote notes that are rich and deep, but not bombastic, harnessed by violet, warm earth and singed alder notes that run from start to finish. Warm humus notes pervade on the finish, echoing nicely while working in tandem with the fruit. A Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. Best from 2022 through 2036. 1,049 cases made." JM
