This is your chance to win one bottle of the exclusive Harlan Estate The Maiden 2018
A stunning expression of Napa Valley, The Maiden 2018 is the distinguished second wine of the legendary Harlan Estate. Crafted with the same precision and care as the flagship wine, The Maiden offers a more approachable yet still richly layered experience.
The 2018 vintage showcases a beautifully balanced profile, with notes of dark cherry, blackberry, graphite, and hints of mocha and cedar. Silky tannins and refined structure lead to a long, elegant finish.
Sourced from younger vines and select lots on the estate, The Maiden is a rare and collectible bottle that captures the essence of Harlan's winemaking philosophy-power, grace, and timeless character.
Harlan Estate wine is extremely exclusive! Here's why:
- Limited Production: Harlan Estate produces only a small number of cases each year (typically around 1,200-2,000), making it highly limited and difficult to acquire.
- Private Mailing List: The wines are primarily available through a members-only mailing list, which has a years-long waiting list just to gain access. Most bottles never reach traditional retail shelves.
- High Price Point: First releases of the flagship wine typically cost $1,000+ per bottle, and prices on the secondary market often climb much higher, especially for older or highly rated vintages.
- Exceptional Ratings: Harlan wines frequently receive 95-100-point scores from top wine critics, adding to their prestige and demand.
- Estate-Grown & Crafted: Every bottle is made from meticulously farmed vineyards in the Oakville AVA of Napa Valley, with total control from vineyard to bottle, much like a Bordeaux first growth.
In short, Harlan Estate wines are not just rare-they're a symbol of elite Napa Valley winemaking, with a global reputation for excellence and exclusivity.
