Harlan Estate 2007 OWC 3

The Harlan Estate 2007 is a quintessential representation of Napa Valley’s elite winemaking, characterised by its opulent structure and unparalleled depth. This vintage showcases a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by smaller proportions of Merlot and Petit Verdot, reflecting the winery's commitment to excellence in varietal selection.

The terroir of Harlan Estate, situated in the Oakville region, bestows the grapes with unique characteristics derived from its varied microclimates and well-drained soils. This specific vintage is a manifestation of the estate's meticulous farming practices and winemaking philosophy, resulting in a wine of remarkable balance and finesse.

Upon tasting, the 2007 reveals elegant layers of dark fruits—blackcurrants and plums—interwoven with hints of cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. The tannins are finely woven, providing a luxurious mouthfeel that indicates the wine's potential for further ageing.

This vintage is not only a product of its time but also embodies the ethos of Harlan Estate, which has been renowned since its inception in the late 1980s. The 2007 vintage stands as a testament to the winery's legacy, offering both immediate pleasure and the promise of complexity with further cellaring. This bottle is a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking.
