2006 Harlan EstateNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/14/2018 - moben Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank at Jay’s annual blind tasting. IMHO, definitively outclassed the competition of 99 Ceval Blanc, 2006 Bond Vecina, and 2003 L. Barton. Loads and layers of deep, dark fruit with an unreal finish. |
