“Brilliance in the Napa Valley” - Vinous’ Antonio Galloni on Larkmead’s 2016 and 2015 Cabernets. 

 
The historic Larkmead estate is one of the oldest family-owned establishments in Napa Valley. Originally founded in 1895, Larkmead has been owned by the Solari family since 1948 and is now under the stewardship of proprietors Cam and Kate Solari Baker, who have overseen its transformation from a legendary vineyard into a world-renowned wine estate. The 110-acre Calistoga vineyard features a remarkable diversity of soils that are more typical of Diamond Creek than the valley floor. 

 
A recently completed renovation of the facilities includes a brand-new winery whose tanks are fitted precisely to different vineyard blocks, and a gorgeous new building for seated tastings, with a semi-outdoor patio and an indoor, cellar-temperature chamber lined with Georgia O’Keefe-esque paintings by Larkmead owner Kate Solari-Baker. Total winery production is barely 8,000 cases. 

 
The 2015 Vineyard Series Cabernet Sauvignon received a score of 97 from Wine Enthusiast and 92 from Gallioni for Vinous. The 2015 Single Parcel Series wines received 95-97 from Gallioni, who added “The 2015s are terrific, but the 2016s are even more expressive and layered.”
