{"product_id":"larkmead-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-2020-copy","title":"Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e94 Points Decanter: \"The Larkmead estate Cabernet Sauvignon in 2022 is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Cabernet Franc, grown in Cortina gravel and Pleasanton loam soils and aged 22 months in 71% new French oak. One of the more refined Cabernets of this challenging vintage, which saw a record-setting heatwave. Despite this, the wine retains freshness, tension, and energy, though the tannins are less pronounced, the structure slightly softer, and the fruit leans more red-toned than usual. Still, there’s plenty to admire—juicy black cherry and brambly blackberry fruit mingle with cedarwood spice, mocha, and a lift of blood orange acidity. The tannins are gentle yet present, lending the wine a long finish with warming spice notes.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e92 Points Jeb Dunnuck: \"The Larkmead 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Cabernet Franc, which was brought up in 71% new French oak. It has a clean, classy, textbook Cabernet Sauvignon nose of ripe currants, loamy earth, leather, and spicy wood. It's nicely balanced, medium-bodied, has a focused, nicely structured mouthfeel, and a great finish. There's not a chance I'd guess it was a 2022 in a blind lineup. Drink bottles any time over the coming 10-12+ years. Drink 2025-2037.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eW I N E :\u003cbr\u003e2022 ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eV A R I E T A L C O M P O S I T I O N :\u003cbr\u003e82% CABERNET SAUVIGNON\u003cbr\u003e18 % C A B E R N E T F R A N \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS O I L P R O F I L E S :\u003cbr\u003eCORTINA GRAVEL\u003cbr\u003ePLEASANTON LOAM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALCOHOL:\u003cbr\u003e14 . 9 %\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRENCH OAK AGING:\u003cbr\u003e22 M O N T H S , 71 % N E W\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mandara Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42331854405712,"sku":null,"price":109.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0976\/1616\/files\/Larkmead-2020-Estate-Cabernet-Sauvignon---Library-Selection-product-image-906-large.jpg?v=1763588060","url":"https:\/\/mandarawine.com\/products\/larkmead-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-2020-copy","provider":"Mandara Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
