Plenty of primary black fruits and cassis upfront. Lavished with oak notes of vanilla bean, cocoa powder. Just a slight hint of eucalyptus in the back. Given the price, this deserves more cellar age.

Beautiful cedar, mahogany, red berry, leather and vanilla bean notes.

It’s really hard not to be seduced by Harlan. Yes, there’s hype - but never have I been disappointed by this wine. Structured, profound and finely nuanced. Excellent.

A wine of restraint and sensuality, the 2014 Harlan Estate is wonderfully transparent in feel. Time in the glass brings out a compelling interplay of beautifully layered fruit and lifted aromatics. The 2014 is one of the most understated yet energetic young vintages of Harlan Estate I can remember tasting. Readers who have not tasted Harlan Estate in a few years might be taken aback by just how sophisticated and nuanced the 2014 is. This is a superb effort. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2018)
