42.000,00 kr. Tilføj til kurvFØRSTE ÅRGANG NOGENSINDE FRA HARLAN ESTATE!
Harlan Estate er en af Napas mest fremtrædende vinproducenter. Vingården ligger i Oakville AVA, i bakkerne over Martha's Vineyard (Heitz Cellar) og To Kalon (Robert Mondavi), lige nord for selve Napa by. Deres Cabernet Sauvignon-baserede flagskib Harlan Estate er en af Californiens mest eftertragtede vine, der jævnligt har priser på over 1000 USD per flaske. Harlan blev grundlagt i 1984 af ejendomsudvikleren William Harlan, som havde købt Merryvale vingården og Meadowood lodge, før han købte 240 acres (97 hektar) jord i Oakville-bakkerne. Omkring 40 acres (16 ha) af dem blev ryddet til vinmarker - for det meste plantet til Cabernet Sauvignon, men med noget Merlot, Cabernet Franc og Petit Verdot. Harlan Estates første kommercielle årgang var 1990, som blev frigivet i 1996 med en pris på $65 per flaske den gang. Siden da har Harlan cementeret sig selv som en kultvinproducent, med 8 årgange, der har opnåede 100 point fra Robert Parker. Ud over flagskibet Harlan laver Harlan Estate også anden vinen, The Maiden. -

“I had the privilege of tasting the exquisite 1991 from barrel. Finally, 938 cases of the 1991 have been bottled unfiltered and released. Produced from a rocky, terraced vineyard on the western hillsides of Napa, looking down on Martha’s Vineyard and the Oakville Grade area, this wine is one of the most promising and profound Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines made in California. Bill Harlan, proprietor of the luxurious Meadowood Country Club and Resort, has dreamed of producing a classic California Cabernet for years, and he experimented with small micro-vinifications from the mid-eighties. The 1991 will finally bring to the world’s attention what Bill Harlan, along with his two wine-makers, Bob Levy of Merryvale and Michel Rolland of France, has achieved. The 1991, two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Cabernet Franc and Merlot, is even more impressive now than it was earlier. The wine boasts an opaque purple/dark ruby color, followed by an extraordinarily profound bouquet of sweet cassis, vanilla, minerals, toast, chocolate, and tobacco. Remarkably rich, full-bodied, and layered, with thrilling extract levels, yet soft tannin, this wine continues to remind me of a California fantasy blend of La Mission-Haut-Brion and Cheval Blanc. Strikingly powerful and intense, as well as unequivocally graceful, it is a compelling wine that propels Harlan Estate into the upper echelon of Cabernet Sauvignon wine producers.”
