The historic Larkmead Estate is composed of 110 acres planted to Bordeaux varieties.

Promoting the natural expression of their vineyards, resulting in wines that are unique in their purity, texture and complexity. 

Grape: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Napa Valley, California

Nose: Violet, dried herbs, and black tea dance around the nose while a core of cassis and dark fruit tones remind you of the warm vintage. With time in the glass, a dusting of red cherry and plum expand the fruit profile and give you a hint of what to expect on the palate.   

Palate: The wine enters with sweet macerated fruit, black cherry jam, and dusty, bittersweet chocolate that push to all corners of your palate. The texture of this wine is broad and driven by our vineyard: crushed rocks, gravel, and scorched earth are classic Solari characteristics.  

Finish: The finish on this wine lingers for 20-30 seconds with generous, mouth-coating tannins.
