Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2008

Harlan's second wine, The Maiden, is marvelous in 2005. Ripe, opulent fruit and notes of unsmoked high class cigar tobacco intermixed with creme de cassis, coffee, and asphalt are present in this round, superbly textured, rich, full-bodied, silky, beautifully wrought wine. It will drink well for 15+ years.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, May 2008

Good full medium ruby. Sappy aromas of dark fruits, spicy oak and minerals. Wonderfully juicy and lively on the palate, with floral and mineral elements serving to frame and lift the dark fruit flavors. Very firmly built wine with terrific vinosity and balance. Almost too good for a second wine.

About Winery

For almost two decades, Harlan Estate has been dedicated to creating a California "First Growth" wine estate. Set in the Western hills of Oakville, the estate stretches 240 acres with only about 15% of the estate planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.  The Harlan label is characterized by limited production, a competitive waiting list, and widespread critical acclaim, including a recent 100 point rating by wine critic Robert Parker. It has quickly become one of the most sought after labels in California and around the world. Harlan's wines rank among the top California Cabernets and are defined by their graceful, elegant, and opulent style.
