From the Producer

Harlan Estate is a single-owner Napa Valley estate on the western Mayacamas slopes above Oakville, founded by H. William Harlan and first planted in 1984. The estate's flagship wine, Harlan Estate Proprietary Red, was first released commercially from the 1990 vintage; The Maiden, the estate's second wine, was introduced from 1995 as a complementary bottling made from younger vines and lots not selected for the flagship. The Maiden is produced in the same Bordeaux-influenced style as the flagship, using primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in French oak. The 1999 vintage is one of the early commercial releases of The Maiden.
