WINE DESCRIPTION
Larkmead Vineyards, nestled between St. Helena and Calistoga, features vines planted on a gravelly old riverbed, transitioning to sandy, clay, and pebble-rich soil underneath. This unique terroir, reminiscent of hillside vineyards, imbues their wines with exceptional mineral character and concentration. Spanning over 150 acres, Larkmead Estate encompasses three contiguous vineyard parcels. Originally a well-kept secret, it has evolved into a prominent label. Now, thanks to NapaWine, their wines are available in Switzerland for the first time. Larkmead crafts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, as well as blends with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Larkmead The Lark is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Larkmead Vineyard.This wine is known for its elegance, complexity, and depth of flavor. On the nose, you can expect aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, along with hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. The palate is rich and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a long, lingering finish. The Larkmead The Lark is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for several years. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
