The 2013 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.

100 pts - Wine Advocate

["As I predicted last year, the 2013 Harlan Estate is one of their all-time greats, although they have had many of them, starting with the 1991, followed by 1994, 1995, 1997 (although controversial in some circles), 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2012. This great first-growth property, with aspirations to produce the finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine made in the New World, has given us a wine that has it all in 2013. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of espresso, white chocolate, mocha, blackberry, cassis, and cedar wood, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, but also structured, pure and incredibly long (well past a minute aftertaste). It is probably closest in personality and overall character to the compelling 2001, which is still a youthful wine at age 15. Drink it over the next 50+ years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (42671)"]
