Tasting Note
Harlan Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is profound, powerful, and breathtakingly refined. Aromas of blackberry compote, cassis, black cherry, violets, graphite, and warm spice unfold alongside notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and cedar. The palate is dense yet weightless, with ultra-fine tannins, impeccable purity of fruit, and a seamless, layered texture. A vibrant mineral core drives an extraordinary finish that lingers for minutes. This is Harlan at its most elegant and sculpted—an iconic Napa wine of remarkable presence and poise.
