2006 Harlan Estate
Community Tasting Note
La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine:
Thursday, October 19, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): Rich and concentrated, this deep ruby-colored Cabernet will never be confused with something from Bordeaux. What it does offer, however, is a good representation of what can be achieved in the Napa Valley (which many would consider to be superior). Ripe black currants, Bing cherries, figs, baking spices and bittersweet chocolate are framed with fresh acidity and plentiful silky-textured tannins. The wine's alcohol and oak are beautifully integrated and the middle palate is impressive dense. The finish is borderline unctous and decadently long. As good as this is now, it will get even better with additional time in the cellar. Drink 2020-2040.
