Larkmead is a truly historic vineyard, dating back to the 1880s, and has been owned by members of the Solari family since 1948. One of the very finest vineyards in Napa Valley, Larkmead's 120 acres are primarily planted to Cabernet but also Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and a small block of 100 year-old Tocai Friulano vines. In addition to crafting its own 100% Napa Valley Estate wines, Larkmead also grows and sells top quality fruit to select premium Napa Valley wineries.

This was spectacular. Great fruit, huge length, and supple velvety tannins. More subtle structure than the regular cab.

This is a very dry wine with tons of floral notes and acidity but it is more substancial than most sauvignon blanc.

Dynamite! The luscious, deep, dark wine I thought it would be with a ton of cranberry, blackberry and maybe a hint of mocha. Kicked some serious ass with my bouillabaisse.

This was my favorite syrah from our Napa trip. It didn't have as much spice as the Pride MT but it was more well rounded and had nice minerality and blueberry notes.

This is a wonderfully deep red beautifully smooth wine that evolves for hours in your glass. There are notes of black cherry, black berry and earth. This is a wine that drinks like a bottle twice its price.

This is the best $50-$75 dollar cab I have ever tasted. Very elegant with perfectly integrated tannins, dark fruits, and a super long finish. The fruit is not overly fruit forward it is however very refined. Wonderful!!!

Very nice Sauvignon Blanc. Pear and citrus notes followed by more pronounced grapefruit and peach on the finish. Great acidity for a crisp finish.

Grassy mineral nose. Flavors of apples, peach and other stone fruit play well with the firm acidity. There's a touch of floral and peach on the finish. Judicious use of oak. High alcohol really adds to the viscous velvety texture.

Larkmead Firebelle Meritage Napa (2007)

Winery: Larkmead Vineyards
Region: USA » California » Napa
Type: Table Wines

rar8888

This is a very complex wine with dark fruit, berries, and violet notes on the nose. On entry there is a blackberry followed by bit of earth, spice, and tobacco. This wine took around five hours to fully open up but it was definitely worth the wait.
