Harlan Estate, 2020 The Maiden, Napa Valley

97 Points James Suckling:
"Attractive aromas of blackcurrants, black earth, tea and walnut follow through to a medium to full body. Chewy yet juicy with a citrus undertone. Up with some of the top Maidens. Best after 2027. (Feb 2023)

For over two decades, Harlan Estate has been committed to creating a California “first growth” wine estate. Founded in 1984, Harlan Estate is set in the western hills of Oakville, rising above the fabled Napa Valley benchlands. Carved from the raw land and built for generations, the estate is over 240 acres of natural spendor, 15% of which are under vine, planted to the classic varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
