Harlow Court 2021 California Private Reserve

The Cab is from Lake County and Alexander Valley, where lower vine yields produce a higher concentration of grapes. The Merlot and Petit Verdot, grown sustainably in Lodi, yield fruit, aroma and complexity to the wine. This Bordeaux-style blend, also called a Red Meritage, offers dark fruit aromas like blueberry, plum, blackberry and black currant. Several months of French and American oak aging reveals vanilla, cedar and cigar box characters. On the palate, the wine is young and compact. Over the next few months and even years, a stunning evolution and softening of the tannins will ensue in this intense red blend.
