February 21, 2016 - Very hot and overpowering when first opened. Needed at least a half hour to open up to where it was drinkable. After it opened up, it was decent.

April 13, 2014 - Napa Valley Tour; 4/11/2014-4/15/2014 (French Laundry,Meadowood,Colgin,Araujo,Harlan....): Made by the Harlan team as Bill Harlan co-owns the winery/club. Fermentation is done a third in stainless steel! a third in new oak barriques and the rest in larger oak barrels.Dark, youthful and glossy and colour. Light touch of oak on the nose, ripe dark fruits , pepper hint of a herby edge. On the palate on feels the youth however thanks to its ripe core of fruit and balance has a forward, approachable side. This is not a wine made for instant gratification though and it would definitely benefit from further bottle ageing to add more complexity. We hope our paths cross again with this wine. A very well made wine, balanced and full of promise and potential.
