2010 Harlan Estate, The Maiden, Napa Valley, Case of 6 btls

AG94 "The 2010 The Maiden is fabulous. Dark red cherries, lavender, menthol and spices all flesh out in the glass. A textured, inviting wine, the 2010 wraps around the palate with striking depth and purity. Silky tannins add a measure of finesse, but in the end, the 2010 is a wine to enjoy for its forward fruit and juicy, extroverted personality. What a gorgeous wine this is. The 2010 captures the essence of Harlan Estate to the core. It is a fabulous Maiden." AG for VM Nov 2013

JS94 "A solid red with a muscular tension and form. Full body and rich fruit, with currant, blackberry and mineral character. Fresh acidity. Turns to tar, dried flowers and dark fruits. Needs at least three to four years of bottle age." JS May 2014
"It is hard to believe but Bill Harlan’s beautiful estate in the lower hills of the Mayacamas Mountains on the western side of Napa has now made over twenty vintages. (I have mixed emotions, as I am old enough to remember them all.) The Maiden is always an impressive effort, but it is built to be drunk at an early age." RP Oct 2014
