2015 Larkmead Vineyards Solari Cabernet Sauvignon 1x750ml

Vinous 93+

Bright dark red with ruby tones. Aromas of raspberry liqueur, tobacco and licorice complicated by subtle soil tones. Juicy, spicy and concentrated; surprisingly alive for its high pH, with its red and darker fruit flavors complemented by menthol and soil notes and lifted by minerality. Very Cabernet but not in a particularly black style. Finishes with firm tannic grip and excellent length. (14.5% alcohol; 3.98 pH) [Stephen Tanzer, 29/08/2019]

Robert Parker 93+

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Solari displays an opaque purple-black color with an intense mocha, baked blackcurrants and stewed plums nose plus hints of sautéed herbs, underbrush and tapenade. Full-bodied, concentrated and very firm in the mouth, it offers great ripeness and plenty of power but is just a little chewy and lacking that next-level finesse.” [31/10/2017]
