McClellan Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Purple in color with a purplish rim.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very young Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and bold. In your face kind of wine, with a teeth staining color.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

Aged in Neutral French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$60.

While very good, this one needs another 8 plus yrs.

Soft subtle nose. Dark cassis, blackberries, both plums, powdery, soft earth tones, moist clay, dark, chocolate, dry herbs & brilliant floral’s.

Soft, round body. Blackberries, black raspberries, plums, very dark cherries, it’s elegant, smooth, very soft tannins, dark chocolate, soft but pointed spice, volcanics, dry stems, violets, lavender, dark
florals, brilliant acidity, elegant with soft tension, great length with a 90 second finish that lands on minerals and beautiful spice.

If there is one thing I learned tasting 6 Harlan’s is Bob Levy is one of the very best, if not thee best at managing Cabernet/Bordeaux blend tannins.

Needs 4 years or so but, as Barrington Levy sings “the vibes is right”. Wall of minerals & stone fruit. Took a full day’s decant to break through. GG quality. Nice work. — 4 years ago

Napa Valley Red Blend 2005

1 hour decant(little fine/cloudy sediment). A fabulous medium garnet with some bricking. On the nose: beautiful areomatics jump from the glass with dark cherry, worn leather, herbaceous, planting soil, stewed prunes, dark chocolate. Taste: silky smooth, creamy, regal mouthcoating wine with some dark cherry, balsamic, dark chocolate, black tea, earth, and a peppery graphite long rich finish. YUM!! One complaint... Hate the metal button glued to the top of the bottle...pain to take off in order to get to the cork. — 4 months ago
