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.

Deep purple color at it's core which fades to dark ruby red at the edges. The aromatics are intense and rich but at the same time fresh with aromas of dusty red fruit, wild berries and a floral nose that swings through violets, mint and lavender. All o...

The nose showed black currant, cherry liquor, spice, brown sugar and a hint of fresh-turned soil. On the palate, it was velvety smooth and luxuriant with blackberry jam, cherry wood and spice. The finish was exceptionally long with blackberry and curra...

A nice wine that's still a little young. Firm tannins with lingering dark bitter choc.

The color is golden with a green twinge. On the nose, I found white flowers, lemon curd, wet rocks and a hint of undergrowth. The palate was strikingly beautiful as it first comes across as rich and full but glides across the tongue with brisk acidity ...

The nose really jumps out at you showing an elegant blend of cassis, plum, earth, and some wood shavings. These notes transfer over to the palate with the addition of a good and pure blast of red and black fruit. Good medium plus finish. 93+ points. W...

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.

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

The nose showed cherry and black currant with mint, spice, chalky minerals, waxy notes and a hint of underbrush. On the palate, it was velvety smooth yet juicy with a hint of sweetness to it's black currant fruit, exotic spice and vanilla. The finish w...
