Harlan Estate 2021 Red Wine is one of nine 2021 Napa wines that earned 100-point scores. The 2021 vintage could turn out to be the best year since 2013, with wines that are big, deep and concentrated, balanced with acidity and firm in very fine-grained tannins in the best examples. Harlan Estate produces up to 25,000 bottles per vintage from their 40-acre estate vineyard in the Oakville hills. Founded by Bill Harlan in 1984, the estate was conceived to produce a 'First Growth' quality wine from Napa Valley. The vineyard's hillside location, ranging from 225 to 1,225 feet in elevation, provides diverse exposures and soil types. The wine is a Bordeaux blend typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Harlan Estate is aged in 100% new French oak and has extraordinary aging potential of 30-50 years. The wine showcases incredible depth, complexity, and balance, with layers of dark fruit, minerals, and subtle oak influence. This is one of California's most collectible and sought-after wines.
