Tasting Notes
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon:
100% Estate grown fruit at Larkmead Vineyards
96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc
“Deep ruby red-purple color. Intensely aromatic aromas of ripe raspberry and black cherry darkened by cocoa powder and sweet tobacco notes. Initially elegant and a touch reserved, the palate opens with aeration to show spicy licorice and black cherry flavors which precede a rich core of classic Larkmead cassis purity. The wine maintains its central theme of concentration allied to elegance, growing in volume as it sits in the glass. The finish is long and pure combining lively acidity with dense chewy tannins.”
-Winemaker Andy Smith
Brilliant ... It would probably be hard to find a Cabernet Sauvignon of this quality with this production level, all estate fruit, and such impeccable viticulture and winemaking." - Robert Parker
2006 Firebelle Blend:
100% Estate grown fruit at Larkmead Vineyards
55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec
“Good deep ruby red color. Combines a cool season Bordeaux-like nose of tar, damp-earth and game with Californian wild berry fruit aromas and complex rosehip and black tea nuances. The palate opens with cola and smoked meat flavors and is initially tight, dry and structured. With aeration, cassis, black cherry and tobacco notes emerge leading to a sweet mid-palate that is broad, textured and charming. Tannins are bold and mouth-coating and provide length and shape to the wine. Our most age-worthy Firebelle bottling yet, the 2006 will develop positively in bottle for between 5 and 8 years. Decant for an hour on release to allow the wine’s mid-palate sweetness to fully emerge and buffer the youthful tannic frame."
-Winemaker Andy Smith
terrific aromatics and plush, succulent style. - Robert Parker
2007 Sauvignon Blanc:
100% Sauvignon Blanc
“Pale straw color with hints of gold; Great aromatic intensity with ripe honeydew melon, zesty grapefruit and flint notes and a fleeting suggestion of fresh mint. The palate continues the theme with fresh citrus and Clementine richness that builds and expands gradually but always maintains a lingering sense of earthy minerality and energetic, vibrant acidity. Finishes long, persistent and
elegant.”
-Winemaker Andy Smith
