Harlan Estate 2022 3-Pack OWC 750mL

"This wine is incredibly perfumed and earthy, with a neon-bright, electric fruit character that seems to pulse with aromatic energy. It lures you in, revealing subtle layers of pure Bing cherry, plum, and cassis, intertwined with violets and firm, seamlessly interconnected tannins. These tannins are almost elliptical—sleek and structured at the edges, yet supple and expansive on the mid-palate. Framed by intensely warm earth tones, the wine is lifted by violet pastille and unsmoked tobacco, leading to an everlasting finish. There’s an incredible freshness and tension, and compared to 2021, despite the earlier harvest, the clarity, generosity, and crunch of the bright fruit stand out." - Decanter, DC99, tasted 2/2025
