It took a while, but we've come to realize that our popular Larkan wines have gotten too big for this website, so we've sent them out on their own.

I really loved the 2016 Cabernet Franc, which was 85% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, coming from the Pocai Vineyard that is not far from the famous Three Palms Vineyard, which Duckhorn made famous producing Merlot. This is a supple, luscious style of Cabernet Franc with a dense ruby/purple color, a sweet kiss of forest floor, incense, licorice and white flowers as well as chocolate, black cherry and blackberry. The fruit is terrific, the wine opulent, fleshy and best drunk over the next 10-12 years.
This is another producer that consistently turns out fine wines and what would have to be considered reasonable pricing for high-end Napa offerings. - Robert Parker
