In the glass, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of perfumed violets, candied cherries, and warm vanilla spice. Red plums and figs fill the bouquet that accompany warmer notes of cocoa, tobacco, and crushed fresh mint. The structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon brings great density and tension to the center of the wine, with the site's natural vibrant acidity balanced by the smooth and plush roundness of Merlot. Sourced from several of Larkmead's oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard blocks, this wine's brooding fruitfulness is offset by the bright mineral and delicate floral notes that are a signature of their vineyard each vintage. Through all the challenges faced in 2020, this Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly captures the beauty and resilience of the historic estate.
