“Always one of the finest Napa Cabernet Francs made, Larkin's 2004 offers a beautiful, expressive nose of menthol, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, and licorice. In the mouth, the wine is deep, rich and medium to full-bodied, but light on its feet, with sweet tannin as well as a long finish. Drink this impressive Cabernet Franc over the next decade, although I would not be surprised to see it last much longer.” 92ptsRP
2004 Larkin Cabernet Franc Napa Valley -
This wine is all about BLUE - blueberry, spicy brambly earth-toned dusty blue fruits -- plums, wild blackberry, very complex and like the Cabernet - light on its feet but not lacking any flavor, that is for sure. Very plush and supple, with a long spicy finish that shows some high-quality wood, grilled fresh sweet herbs and a bit of telltale dustiness.
This is a California Wine.
