Larkmead knows how to make wines that balance tension between expressive fruit and savory complexity, without becoming an overextracted oak bomb mess. There’s flowers, cocoa, mushroom, and a serious umami quality that is balanced by dense dark fruits and is all in balance with a smooth, extended finish. One of the best red wines made in Napa Valley.
