The Maiden Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend

And my third batter - say hello to the cousin of Harlen - rate and taste notes to follow - decanting now - the notes are simple - SMILES all around

May be well past the drink window

Hello pretty girl...cheers to the 'women in wine'

2004 Harlan Estate 'The Maiden'-so gorgeously textured w notes of blk cherry, briar patch fruit, cocoa & fresh coffee bean. Opened up throughout the night into ripe notes of richly layered plum & cassis. #certifiablydelish

Now this is a Napa Cab I can get into. Goes on forever.

it's Tuesday. 2 of 2

My first Harlan bottling. So so vintage but I found this excellent. Incredible fruit power despite 15 years, ample sediment, and brown color. Silky tannins. This has several years of life and has only started showing tertiary.

Never been my favorite. Lots and lots and lots of sediment.

Big. Black fruit and dried cherry. Espresso. Don’t use a Coravin on this one , it’s throwing a lot of sediment.
