Larkin
Napa Valley Cabernet Franc
Big fruit, blueberry compote and vanilla, with a silky smooth texture. Such a consistent cab Franc year after year after year. A really fun wine.

Apr 1st, 2017Fresh plums, stewed plum, campfire wood, grape juice, red & black currant, & raspberries on the nose. Fresh cigarette smoke up front. Oak, vanilla, stewed plum, raspberry & luxardo cherry pie, dark cocoa, & cherry cordial. High acidity. Medium-plus tannin. Velvety dryness.

May 7th, 2019I just love this Larkin Cabernet Franc. Seamless and layered. Just a gorgeous wine. Even better after the Hawkeyes won today.

Jun 11th, 2018A Napa Cabernet Franc tasting with the family today. The Detert and the Larkin were the favorites of the group; both had gorgeous black cherry and blueberry fruit with terrific aromatic intensity. The Gandona Meia and the Studio Seven-Fifty need more time. The Turnbull was slightly corked.

Mar 28th, 2018This was a shot in the dark at dinner and knowing I seem to like Cab Franc, by far the best Franc I've had in the Napa valley. I'll give a better description when I get in the 2 bottles I'm about to order! Very smooth with very balanced fruit. No issue drinking asap
