“As I predicted last year, the 2013 Harlan Estate is one of their all-time greats, although they have had many of them, starting with the 1991, followed by 1994, 1995, 1997 (although controversial in some circles), 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2012. This great first-growth property, with aspirations to produce the finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine made in the New World, has given us a wine that has it all in 2013. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of espresso, white chocolate, mocha, blackberry, cassis, and cedar wood, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, but also structured, pure and incredibly long (well past a minute aftertaste). It is probably closest in personality and overall character to the compelling 2001, which is still a youthful wine at age 15. Drink it over the next 50+ years.” (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Oct. 2016)
"The 2013 Harlan Estate has really shut down since I tasted it from barrel a year ago. Dark, powerful and brooding, with plenty of tannic grip, the 2013 is a wine to buy and forget about for at least a few years. Black fruit, graphite, violet smoke and licorice are some of the signatures, but, here, too, the wine belongs to the future. I wouldn't dream of opening a bottle before its tenth birthday. The Harlan Estate is one of the most finessed - if not the most finessed 2013 - readers will taste. This is a stunningly beautiful, vivid wine." (99 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct. 2016)
“This is really sensational with such precision and focus. Glorious aromas of tar, graphite, blackcurrants, and blackberries. Full-bodied, very tight, and reserved. Phenomenal tannic structure that is supple and wonderful. This new classicism makes me speechless. It's pure pleasure. You can drink it now, but it's built for aging.” (100 pts. James Suckling, Jan. 2016)
“The 2013 Harlan Estate is flat-out stunning. Dark, ample and explosive, with tremendous freshness, the 2013 has aged spectacularly. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, espresso, leather and new oak infuse the 2013 with captivating depth. The 2013 shows just how much the Harlan house style has evolved in less than a decade.” (100 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)
“The second consecutive drought year for Napa, it ushered in a warm, dry spring with early bud break in the month of April. A warm, windy season encouraged vines to develop smaller berries with thicker skins, and this is evident in the tannins structure of this wine, which also benefitted from a touch less new oak—as will be the case with subsequent vintages from this point onward. Tasted at the decade marker, it is in an absolutely pitch-perfect place, having just shed its ripe, juicy, and youthful fruit profile in favour of more dried and current characteristics, with secondary nuances just beginning to creep in and reveal currant leaf, tobacco, and sandalwood. Brawny, fine-grained tannins framed an energetic wine while exotic brown spices, earth, and truffle notes only tease at the joy to come—it may perhaps close down briefly to reveal itself and all the glory of the excellent vintage closer to 2030. To be enjoyed well beyond.” (98 pts. Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter, June 2023)
