Larkmead Vineyards
Napa Valley Red Blend
An interesting nose of ripened cherries and toast.
On the palette, it's tannic and a touch gritty. Good balance and acid structure, but finishes a touch tart. I was expecting the cab (white label). Still a lovely example, but not close to the pure cab they produce.

Pretty sure I really enjoyed this one, but I would really need to have again to make a determination
