1999 The Maiden

Harlan Estate was founded in 1987 by H. William Harlan in Napa Valley's Oakville AVA, focusing on producing world-class Bordeaux-style blends from its hillside estate vineyards. Winemaker Bob Levy employs meticulous farming and gravity-fed winemaking to craft ageworthy wines emphasizing balance and complexity. The winery has earned legendary status, with multiple 100-point scores from critics like Robert Parker, establishing it as one of California's most prestigious cult producers.

The Maiden is the second wine of Harlan Estate, crafted from declassified barrels and younger vines from the same prestigious Oakville hillside site. It faithfully captures the estate's signature style, often rivaling top vintages of the flagship Harlan.
