If you’re paying a premium price for a super-premium wine, then you expect it to come from a winery that’s focused on quality, not quantity. The “quality not quantity” philosophy is undoubtedly showcased in the 2000 Harlan Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley. This 240-acre winery consists of magnificent, oak-studded knolls and valleys nestled above the fabled beach lands of Napa Valley. Only roughly 15% of this spectacular spread is under vine, and its uncompromising, discerning farming practices produce about half the per-acre yield found in most Bordeaux “first growth” vineyards. The result is carefully-chosen grapes worthy of a world-class “Best Of”. The Harlans like to describe their family homestead winery as a “place of great inspiration” and who could argue after tasting their truly inspired, near-perfect 2000 Harlan Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Tiered flavors of cherry, chocolate, spice and balanced oak deliver an incredible infusion of complex flavors on a lengthy finish that seems to have no end.
