A COMPLETE OVERVIEW OF HARLAN'S RISE TO THE TOP, INCLUDING SOUGHT AFTER MAGNUMS AND THE RARE 1991 VINTAGE
All purchased on release and stored in ideal storage conditions
Property of a California Collector
Harlan, undoubtedly one of the premier estates in the Napa Valley, is the product of the finest ingredients. With a 240-acre mountainside estate overlooking Martha's Vineyard, only 30-acres meet the perfect conditions to be under vine. Of this selective area, winemaker Bob Levy and consultant Michel Rolland take less than two tons of grapes per acre. Meticulous hand sorting methods done grape by grape make the wine one of the most labor intensive products of the wine world. Miniscule quantities, star winemaker names, and juice that is concentrated beyond belief-no wonder the wine is heralded as a first-growth of California.
Harlan Estate--Vintage 1991
Napa Valley
In original wooden case
This is a profoundly great wine. It came across in a blind tasting as one of the most remarkable wines there, with most tasters mistaking it for a first-growth Medoc. The wine revealed an opaque purple color, a fabulously complex, sweet nose of minerals, fruitcake, cedar, toasty new oak, and pure blackcurrant fruit. Although huge in the mouth, the wine is remarkably well-balanced, with its high tannin level well-concealed by copious quantities of sweet ripe fruit, as well as huge amounts of glycerin and extract. I have consistently rated the 1991 Harlan Estate in the mid to upper nineties, but in this blind tasting with so many high quality wines, it was a big-time winner. Approachable now, this wine should be at its best by the turn of the century and last for 2-3 decades. Wine Advocate (Feb 1997) (eRP Only)
