Amazing Winery by the founder of Harlan Estate (Bill Harlan) 98 pt Vinous 97 pt James Suckling 96+ pt Robert Parker The five separate single vineyards that Bill Harlan has under long-term contract continue to perform at first growth quality levels. They generate between 500 and 600 cases of these single-vineyard wines that all represent distinctive and separate micro-climates of Napa Valley. The culled out barrels that don’t make the cut are blended together for a wine called Matriarch, which in itself is a terrific offering. Last year I touted the brilliance and drama of the 2012s, which are strikingly beautiful, and the otherworldly 2013s, but now we have the fruit-forward and luscious 2014s, and although I didn’t taste them, I suspect the 2015s will reach a new qualitative pinnacle for this extraordinary visionary project of Bill Harlan and his winemaking team, led by Bob Levy. /Robert Parker Wooden cases may be carefully opened and repacked to ensure safe shipping. In this instance, the OWC/straps will still be included and sent alongside the bottles safely packed. No shipping to Cypress because of the very high shipping price .. so be aware before you place your bid.
