Food Pair: Rib Eye
Founded in 1984 by Bill Harlan, this Oakville estate has earned its reputation as “the first growth of California.” Planted on a mosaic of volcanic soils and sandstone, the vineyards yield wines of both immense power and finesse. The 2020 is Cabernet Sauvignon-led, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot adding depth. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry mingle with graphite, cocoa and cedar. The palate is dense yet balanced, with velvety tannins and layers of dark fruit and savoury spice leading to an exceptionally long finish. Built for the cellar, it will show best from 2030 but is already compelling.
