Larkmead The Lark Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

From the moment you pull the cork, the density of the wine’s aromas fill the air. The scent comes at you in waves – macerated blackberries from a warm vintage; graphite from the fine gravel and sandy soils the vines are planted in; espresso bean and clove from the new French oak barrels; and, with ample exposure to oxygen the wine begins to reveal its classic Larkmead red fruit aromas.

The wine enters the mouth with the showmanship of being a heavier wine as it travels across your palate intensely until it fades away into the distance leaving you with the memory of its polished core of black fruit. The overall texture of this wine is where it stands apart -- there is an elegance and luxury on the palate that does not exist anywhere else in the Larkmead portfolio.
