WINES
The deepening understanding of the microclimate and the ground beneath the vines has afforded Larkmead the unique opportunity to create a broad and exciting portfolio of wines. In the cellar, the wines are taken on their own terms. If the wines are treated differently it is not because of their quality potential but due to the natural phenomenon of terroir.
“Larkmead is blessed with a diverse Estate that based on soil profile alone is a ‘snapshot’ of the entire Napa Valley.”
-Dan Petroski, Winemaker
The wines are available for purchase through a Larkmead Membership or by making an appointment to visit the historic vineyard estate. Select wines can be purchased online by joining the Mailing List.

THE CELLAR LIBRARY
Each year, our winemaking team tastes nearly every wine Larkmead has ever produced. Our goal is to asses and revise drinking windows and provide updated tasting notes for our staff and collectors alike. These notes were last updated in February 2020.
