Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure only the most exceptional fruit finds its way into the winery. A stringent sorting process further refines the selection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFermentation unfolds in small lots, permitting close supervision and gentle flavor extraction. The final touch is aging in French oak barrels, where the wine matures gracefully, attaining complexity and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is really sensational with such precision and focus. Glorious aromas of tar, graphite, blackcurrants, and blackberries. Full-bodied, very tight, and reserved. Phenomenal tannic structure that is supple and wonderful. This new classicism makes me speechless. It's pure pleasure. You can drink it now, but it's built for aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I predicted last year, the 2013 Harlan Estate is one of their all-time greats, although they have had many of them, starting with the 1991, followed by 1994, 1995, 1997 (although controversial in some circles), 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2012. This great first-growth property, with aspirations to produce the finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine made in the New World, has given us a wine that has it all in 2013. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of espresso, white chocolate, mocha, blackberry, cassis, and cedar wood, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, but also structured, pure and incredibly long (well past a minute aftertaste). It is probably closest in personality and overall character to the compelling 2001, which is still a youthful wine at age 15. Drink it over the next 50+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA muscular, chunky, chewy, extracted style, with remarkable fruit purity, featuring deep, penetrating blackberry, wild berry, blueberry and currant flavors. Gains a crushed rock minerality, but the fruit never lets up. Ends with firm tannins. Best from 2020 through 2034. 1,875 cases made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harlan Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48486612500697,"sku":"210000048186","price":1589.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/4717\/8372\/files\/ksbigfhs1odgvwojwitc.jpg?v=1775266500","url":"https:\/\/flaskfinewines.com\/products\/harlan-estate-oakville-napa-valley-2013-750ml","provider":"Flask","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
