Reviews & Scores
The 2016 Harlan estate is absolutely beautiful, with expressive aromatics of pure black fruit, crunchy red fruit, gorgeous cedar and sandalwood, and tobacco. Full-bodied, rich, with super fine-grained tannins that are compact, mirrored by the wine's tight-knit, coiled-up energy, impressive tension, and remarkable delineation of flavours, aromas, and textures.

...charging out of the glass, brandishing bold, opulent blackberry pie, warm cassis and blueberry preserves notes with hints of cigar box, Indian spices, crushed rocks and forest floor plus fragrant accents of lavender and black tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, with a solid line of super ripe, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness supporting the layer upon layer of savory and earth-inspired notions, finishing on a lingering mineral note. Impressively structured, incredibly nuanced and possessing all this latent tension, this brazen beauty is set to live for a good 60 years and possibly more! - WA
