Retrained fruit, nicely structured, balanced with smooth mouth feel and finish. Decant for 2 hours.

M+ tannins, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, cherries, strawberries come on late, expresso roast, leathery, medium spice, dry dark soil, dry red florals, cigar with ash, dry stems, acid is good but there is still a fair amount of tension in this wine, good structure, length and balance with a dry tannin finish. Needs 5-8 years before you want to open one and will last another 7 plus years.

Very good. Juicy. Bold. Depth

Solid Napa Cab from an amazing winery and winemaker

I tasted a ridiculous amount of good wine tonight. Hopefully these notes make sense! This was my first introduction to Larkmead, and what an introduction it was. For a Napa cab, this was very heavy on the red fruits. Lots of cherries, almost sweet tart candy. Balanced integration of oak. I'd like to try some older bottles of this.

Continues with lots of tannins and dark plums and fruit. Mouth coating!

Sean Grullon

Rich, but balanced; both savory and juicy with an expressive dark fruit backbone accompanied by aromatic menthol and floral aromas. Complex and persistent finish, with varietally correct aromas and flavors with balanced oak exhibiting predominantly cocoa notes. World class and tasty.

Tim Messer

Dry! But I love dry.

Such a shame for a great staple vineyard in Napa. Is it just too young? This wine is very green. Incredibly tannic. Whole mouth puckers with each sip. Maybe it needs decanting.
