Beautiful in style, very similar to all of the Harlan estate wines I have had this year. Tannins? What tannins? Ready to go @ PnP but improved over the next hr-1.5 hrs. So light weight and delicate. Blue and black fruits, a hint of cedar box, and chocolate. Really pretty.

Paired with bone-in Ribeye at Bones in ATL. Ready to go immediately at PNP. (Drink now!). Very balanced with almost a "light touch" for a Napa cab after all the younger super concentrated '19/'21 Cabs I tasted in Napa last week (Reynolds, Lerner, DR. Stephens, B Cellars, etc.). It's the 2011 vintage for sure. My last bottle...sadness...but gotta pop those corks you don't live forever!

Medium ruby color with medium intensity on the nose. Bright pink meniscus with no bricking. Primary red fruit with ripe raspberry and cherry. Some light secondary notes of oak and pencil shavings present. Medium body with medium + tannin. Very fresh acidity in balance with red fruit dominant on the palate. Medium + finish. This is an excellent wine. Solid QPR at $99 discount, not so much at full retail.

Coming from Bob Levy this has the tell-tale Harlan style, cool blue fruits, crunchy length, nice Napa characteristic.

It’s very nice, still needs some time to open up, it’s a delicate wine that is probably at its best without food
