Larkmead Vineyards The Lark 2023 Review

The Lark is a nod to this legendary estate’s history, made from a selection of the best barrels in a given harvest. This is a more restrained expression of Napa Cab, with savory aromas of earth and green peppers. The palate delivers a deep core of fruit with soft tannins around the edges. The balance is amazing, and it’s just getting started.
