<b>The final allotment of this vintage, 6 bottle limit.</b><BR>
<BR>Fantastic in recent staff tastings, our 2000 Cabernet stands out in what was a challenging vintage. See Robert Parker's notes below, as well as comments from winemaker Andy Smith.<p>
Our Estate Vineyard at Larkmead is now in its third century, and wines grown here have a unique sense of place, and an almost amazing concentration, beauty and complexity. Robert Parker's review of Larkmead 2000 Cabernet:
<blockquote><i>"The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot) is outstanding for the vintage. It spent 20 months in French oak before being bottled without fining or filtration. A dense ruby/purple color accompanies a bouquet of cassis, earth, new oak, spice box, and a hint of tobacco leaf. With a chewy texture, fine density, and medium to full body, it is best consumed over the next 10-12 years."</i></blockquote>

Winemaker Andy Smith's notes:
<i><blockquote>“Deep ruby red that darkens with aeration. Great aromatic complexity with red and black cherry, cassis and earthier notes of roasted coffee. The palate is immediately supple and juicy with sweet briary jam and then darkens to show layered black fruits and chocolate. The mid palate is rich and full and the soft tannins allow the breadth of the wine to gradually unfold across the palate, leading to a pleasant finish.
Delicious and approachable on release, our 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to gain weight and complexity with 4 to 6 years in the bottle.”</i></blockquote>
