Larkmead 2019 Firebell - 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot | 854 Cases Produced

Like its namesake, Lillie "Firebelle Lil" Hitchcock, this wine is powerful and expressive. This wine is incredibly fragrant, a signature of the warm yet moderate growing season. Inky dark, it offers a wealth of balanced red fruit, notes of tobacco, gun smoke and dried herb. 95 POINTS" - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, May 2022

Larkmead 2019 Cabernet SauvignonThe varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is the core of the Larkmead portfolio and is also the greatest opportunity to highlight the diversity of the estate. The Cabernet Sauvignon is assembled from a range of blocks, blending all of the many soil types and clonal selections together into a single complex whole. "This Cabernet Sauvignon is lifted by the addition of aromatic Cabernet Franc, creating a red wine of depth, concentration and persistence. The intensity of flavors still offers restraint and smart structural balance. Both red and black fruits intermingle with sage, licorice, coffee grounds and a hint of caramel. Impressive persistence." 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 97 POINTS, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter, September 2022

Larkmead 2019 LMV Salon. Cabernet Franc has historically played a supporting role in the LMV Salon blend. It is a noble variety, but one with an uneven history in Napa Valley, both qualitatively and stylistically. Here at Larkmead, there is success in planting Cabernet Franc in heavier, richer soils. Moving forward, the goal is to allow this wine to differentiate itself by including a higher percentage of Cabernet Franc (up to 70%); this will elevate the variety's complementary characteristics (spice, herb) to Cabernet Sauvignon and produce a blend that best communicates the complexity of the estate.
