97 points James Suckling Very aromatic, with subtle raw-grape, currant and citrus aromas that follow to a medium to full body with very fine, silky and polished tannins. Solid acidity and fine-tannin energy at the end. The second wine of Harlan. Outstanding length. Try after 2026.  (3/2022)

95 points Jeb Dunnuck There are roughly 1,000 cases of the 2019 The Maiden, a classy, full-bodied, beautifully textured wine that clearly has some Harlan Estate class and style. Cassis, graphite, integrated oak, and flowers all define the aromatics, and the tannins and purity here are brilliant. It’s a hell of a second wine.  (2/2023)

94 points Wine Advocate The 2019 The Maiden is gorgeous. Creamy, ample and expressive, the Maiden is a terrific introduction to the year. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, leather, menthol fill out the layers beautifully. Medium in body, with gorgeous up-front fruit and radiance. (AG)  (2/2023)
