Tasting Notes
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon:
100% Estate grown fruit at Larkmead Vineyards
92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
“Deep ruby red/purple color. Intense aromatics of sweet black cherry, cassis and violets broaden to show floral perfume notes, dark cocoa powder and complex minerals. The palate features an explosive core of sweet black fruits and an elegant yet luscious mouth feel which deepens and concentrates with aeration. The youthful chewy tannins provide balance and length and the wine finishes with great inner-mouth purity.”
-Winemaker Andy Smith
Outstanding density, ripeness, austere in the finish. Robert Parker
2005 Firebelle Blend:
100% Estate grown fruit at Larkmead Vineyards
48% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot
“Deep ruby-red color. Highly aromatic nose of bright cherry, redcurrant and flowers darkens to sweet blackberry, licorice and dried herbs with aeration. The palate opens with spicy red licorice and cola notes then unfolds and broadens to feature typical Larkmead flavors of cassis and black cherry with an elegant underpinning of stony minerality. The tannins are long and elegant and bring forth a smoky cedar/mocha finish. The wine’s inherent balance of site, fruit and structural elements offers natural development potential of four to six years in bottle."
-Winemaker Andy Smith
Supple, lush, with enticing sweetness. Steve Tanzer
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
