March 28, 2024 - Quintessential cult cab in the mid 2000s and I enjoyed every bit of it. Lots of rich black fruit, oak spices, but incredible clean, balanced, and long. Great wine.

September 16, 2023 - I tried this vintage together with 04 & 07 and this is an unbelievable wine at the moment. The nose is a killer and the taste is all you can ask for from the best Napa Valley Cabs. So much wonderful pencil & lead tones are coming up, full bodied. I'm sure it has a long life but why wait, when it's so good now. Tried it in 2020, good then but fabulous now!

August 4, 2023 - Chez Winefool Goodbye Dinner (Chicago, IL): Sticks out in the line-up of old world wines, but I appreciate the opportunity to taste this cult cab. I can see why people like these in a more veneered style.

November 2009 (link)(Harlan Estate) This wine has a pronounced nose of ripe blueberry, mocha, and grilled coffee and a velvety, full texture that is at once silky and massive. It has great elegance in spite of its size. According to director Don Weaver, the '05 Harlan is a classic expression of the estate. Winery Spotlight: Harlan Estate
