2007 Larkmead, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

"The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet color with a hint of purple and is just a little closed, opening slowly to reveal notions of fresh blackcurrants, wild blueberries and mulberries with touches of plum preserves, dried Mediterranean herbs, violets and cedar chest plus a waft of tobacco. The medium to full-bodied palate is still very youthful, possessing a great core of vibrant black fruit and a fine-grained texture, finishing long and refreshing." [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 31/08/2018]

Vinous 91+

(14.5% alcohol): Medium ruby. Deep aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet, cocoa powder and wild herbs. Seamless and rather high-pitched, and more savory than sweet, with its purple fruit and violet flavors kept firm today by serious but nicely integrated acidity. This is still quite primary and backward, and its strong, juicy fruit needs a few more years to unwind. The tannins are fine-grained and suave. The quality of the site shines through.
