Harlan Estate Red 2009

Napa Valley, California, United StatesLove the freshness here and stony mineral bits that seem to keep this big rich red in check. Look for bright, soft, silky round, black fruit with spice and leather. Very glossy new World style but with a linear elegant style that again tempers the rich, pure black fruit flavours and substantial tannins. A rich hedonistic red working hard to reign in nay extravagance. The wine has a very high percentage cabernet sauvignon in it but the vineyard is planted to 70% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 8% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.
