2014 Harlan Estate, The Maiden, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 The Maiden opens with a beautiful exotic spice and potpourri nose over a core of red and black currants, cedar chest, cloves and menthol plus a waft of fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, it has a lovely velvety texture and great freshness lifting the spicy flavors, finishing with lingering red and black fruit layers." [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 31/10/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2018-2035

Vinous 91-93

Lifted aromatics and finely sculpted fruit give the 2014 The Maiden its super-polished, refined feel. Gentle and understated in its expression of the year, the 2014 speaks to grace above all else. There is plenty to like and look forward to. [Antonio Galloni, 12/01/2016]
