The 2011 Harlan Estate Napa Valley Proprietary Red 750 ml is from the Napa Valley region of California. Since its first commercial release of the 1990 vintage, Harlan has been producing top notch wines that impress critics and are coveted by enthusiasts. Production from their vineyards in the western hillsides of Oakville, planted to 70% cabernet, 20% merlot, 8% cab franc and 2% petit verdot, averages 1,800 cases annually. As Robert Parker says, "These wines possess all the elements of greatness - individuality, power combined with elegance, extraordinary complexity, remarkable aging potential, and compelling richness without ponderousness." To reinforce the accuracy of this sentiment, Robert Parker has awarded the Harlan Estate wine 100-points for five different vintages. The extreme market demand often pushes the price points for these wines into the thousands. Fora slightly more affordable taste of the illustrious Harlan wines, perhaps try their second wine, called The Maiden, that unmistakably resembles her “big sister” and consistently scores 91-94 points from Wine Advocate. In addition to the vintage tasting notes from critics below, read more about Harlan Estate and the interesting history of founder Bill Harlan at https://aabalat.com/wine-insights/wineries/harlan.

93 pts - Wine Advocate

["More dense, tannic, complex and fuller-bodied thatn Harlan's 2011 The Maiden is the 2011 Harlan Estate. Its plum/purple color is followed by a sweet perfume of camphor, blackcurrants, lead pencil shavings, Christmas fruitcake and hints of forest floor and underbrush. Deep, round and generous with silky tannins and a forward, evolved style, this beauty should drink well for 15-18 years.- Robert Parker Jr. (10/2014)"]

93 pts - Wine Spectator

["A powerful expression of Cabernet reminiscent of a young Ausone, this is dense, extracted, layered and nuanced, showing fresh earth and rocky soil notes. Once past the chewiness, the ripe currant, plum and wild berry flavors persist. Drink now through 2024. 1,355 cases made. — JL (10/2014)"]
