Wine Spectator

“Red currant, cherry and raspberry coulis notes weave together, along with singed cedar and sandalwood, sanguine and savory accents. Lingering echoes of warm humus and red tea add perfume to the finish. Elegant in style. Drink now through 2036. 2,368 cases made.”

Highlights

Vineyard selection of Cabernet Sauvignon from vines at least 17 years old; barrel-aged 21 months in French oak. Lifted by aromatic Cabernet Franc, the wine offers concentrated red and black fruits—blackberry, black cherry and dark plum—alongside sage, licorice, coffee grounds, baking spices, tobacco and new leather, with fine tannins, velvety texture and impressive persistence on a focused, flavorful finish.

Larkmead Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

Larkmead Vineyards, based in Calistoga, is one of the oldest family-owned estates in the Napa Valley. Established in 1895 by Lillie Hitchcock Coit and before Prohibition, was considered one of Napa Valley's four great wineries along with Inglenook, Beringer and Beaulieu.

The flagship of the Larkmead wine portfolio is The Lark, a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon released on an allocated basis. First produced as a barrel selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon lots, it has evolved to a vineyard selection of Cabernet Sauvignon from older vines at least 17 years in age. Prior to release, it is barrel-aged in French oak for 21 months. 

Critical Acclaim

97 Wine Enthusiast

This Cabernet Sauvignon is lifted by the addition of aromatic Cabernet Franc, creating a red wine of depth, concentration and persistence. The intensity of flavors still offers restraint and smart structural balance. Both red and black fruits intermingle with sage, licorice, coffee grounds and a hint of caramel. Impressive persistence.

94 Vinous

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is terrific. Bold and explosive, the 2021 shows the more muscular side of the year. Black cherry, tobacco, incense and new leather all meld together in this dramatic, super-expressive Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon.

93 James Suckling

Aromas of blackberries, dark plums, bark and baking spices on the nose, followed by a medium to full body with fine tannins. Well-built and balanced, with a delicious core of berries and wild herbs on a velvety texture. Focused and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
