Harlan Estate The Maiden Meritage Napa Valley 2013 Awards:Robert Parker 95/100 Falstaff 95/100 An expert blend of cherriesDark ruby, deep core, purple reflections, discreet brightening on the rim. Spicy bouquet with fine notes of fine oak, ripe black cherry, tobacco nuances, delicate nougat and candied orange, a discreet floral note. Not quite as complex as the Grand Vin, but very lively, finely meshed and accessible, the Merlot share in the cuve gives the wine an appealing suppleness.
