Note di degustazione
The 2018 LMV Salon, Larkmead's Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, is terrific. Black cherry, mocha, spice, new leather, licorice and lavender infuse the 2018 with striking depth and character while remaining very much in the style of the year at Larkmead. Bright acids perk things up nicely. This is such a pretty wine.

The 2018 LMV Salon is a blend of 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak, 69% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with energetic notes of warm red currants, fresh blackberries and Morello cherries with suggestions of pencil shavings, fallen leaves and dried Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with intense red berry and earthy layers with a firm frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a lively herbal lift. 620 cases were made.
The 2018 LMV Salon is superb. The flavors are so vibrant today. Bright and pungent in the glass with terrific energy, the 2018 is incredibly appealing. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, mint, licorice, herbs and mocha all grace this wonderfully expressive and nuanced Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
