Larkmead Description

There is uniqueness to Solari that cannot be found anywhere else on the Larkmead estate. The bouquet is almost dense,and builds with each swirl of the glass. From blackberry jamto purple flowers, the aromas swell slowly, drawing you inwith their momentum.

In the mouth the wine rumbles across the palate, like theengine of a train transferring its weight with each turn ofthe wheel. Macerated black cherries and cassis coat thesides of the mouth and as they fade, dried herb, graphite,gravel and cacao emerge, leaving you craving a second sip.

Wine Advocate: 99 Points

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Solari, which is again 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, flirts with perfection. It spent 20 months in 80% new French oak and hails from their Cortina Gravel and clay sectors of the vineyard. They made 793 cases of this compelling wine, which offers great freshness and energy, profound depth of flavor, an opaque black/purple color, and oodles of pure crème de cassis and blackberry fruit intermixed with incense, charcoal and white flowers. It’s a stunner to drink now and over the next three decades.

Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Solari is flat out awesome. Always 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 20 months in 80% new French oak, this ripe, sexy, multi-dimensional beauty boasts a deep, saturated purple color as well as layers of plum and cassis fruit intermixed with lots of cedar, spice-cabinet, spring flowers and earth. Possessing full-bodied richness, an expansive, layered texture, incredible depth and a ripe, yet building tannin, it can be enjoyed anytime over the coming 2-3 decades.

James Suckling: 96 Points

Aromas of spices, redwood, blackberries, tile and plums follow through to a full body and super-integrated, chalky tannins. Savory and juicy. Real tension and drinkability. Released in September 2017.
