Harlan Estate The Maiden 2022 750ml

A standout success from one of Napa Valley’s most challenging recent vintages, the 2022 Harlan Estate The Maiden earned an exceptional 98-point rating from Decanter — a remarkable achievement that immediately places it among the elite wines of the vintage.

Crafted from the younger blocks and complementary selections of the famed Harlan Estate, The Maiden has long transcended the idea of a “second wine.” In 2022, it delivers a striking expression of precision, freshness, and refinement — offering the signature Harlan pedigree in a more lifted, finely sculpted style.

Decanter described the wine as:

“A slightly toned-down version of Harlan Estate, with more focused plum and red cherry fruit, alongside saline-velvety tannins… depth, refinement and long-term ageing potential.”

Layers of dark plum, black cherry, graphite, cocoa, crushed flowers, and subtle savory minerality unfold with remarkable purity and balance. The tannins are polished yet structured, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the foundation for graceful long-term evolution.

While many 2022 Napa wines leaned toward excess, The Maiden stands apart through its energy, composure, and understated power — qualities increasingly prized by collectors seeking elegance over sheer weight.

A compelling release from one of California’s most iconic estates, and one of the most highly regarded Napa Valley wines of the 2022 vintage.
