Product Description
JS97 "Fabulous, enticing nose of crushed redcurrants and flowers, following through to a medium to full body with firm, fine tannins that show beautiful finesse. Succulent finish. Peaches at the end. So hard not to drink now." JS Apr 2022
Robert Parker writes, "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. This extraordinary visionary project of Bill Harlan and his winemaking team, led by Bob Levy." Published: Oct 28, 2016
