FFV first constructed as the Larkmead Winery in 1884, the building was refinished with native sandstone from the nearby hills in 1906 and still stands tall today. Blended with 11% Petite Sirah, aromas of rich dark fruits with herb spice notes. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with some vanilla oak and pepper spice. Firm tannins, medium finish, good mouthfeel ending with spicy fruit character. Nice!

To live in the valley is to have a winemaker as your neighbor who gifts you wine from his personal cellar and in times of great need, hand it over the fence to you! Thank you Todd Graff !

May 5th, 2023Nose of deep ripe black figs, currants, thyme. Palate has jammy dark fruits of sweet cherry, almost cloying. Medium finish and moderate tannins. Moderate to low acidity. Not too hot or alcoholic. Overall great wine. Recommend with a braised meat dish.
