2013 Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon The Lark

The perfect 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon The Lark, is a limited production (268 cases) and a magnificent wine. It probably has 50 years of upside potential. The notes of melted chocolate, Christmas fruitcake, creme de cassis, cedar wood, truffles and camphor are all present in this wine of exceptional intensity, purity and a skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish. This is amazing wine that probably won’t hit its prime for a decade and last a good 40-50 years.

Larkmead's 2013 The Lark, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from two parcels on the heart of the property, is a rich, dense and unctuous wine. Dark red and black fruit, smoke, licorice and dark spices are pushed forward. In this lineup, The Lark stands out for its exceptional purity, density and overall richness, all of which come through in a dark, brooding expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Lark emerges from a single block of Cabernet on bale loam.

The 2013 Lark is an utterly magnificent, complete wine that brings together power, density and finesse. Graphite, lavender, crushed rocks, cassis, blueberry jam, and mint all blossom in the glass. Savory overtones add freshness and complexity. The Lark shows the pedigree and stunning beauty that is the signature of this great Napa Valley vintage.
