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.

Ruby color. Lovely oaked nose. Dark black fruit flavors. Medium body, tannin and acidity. The balance is perfect. It's blackberries and oak and a bunch more and I love it.

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!!!

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.
