Napa Valley

Cork

Since 2013, Larkmead has been offering this special cuvee as their auction lot at the annual Napa Premiere barrel auction and at Auction Napa Valley. It comes from one part of the same parcel of vines whose grapes go into The Lark. The east side of the parcel makes more tannic wines, while grapes from the west side, with a richer soil profile, make softer, plusher, more elegant ones. While the Lark is a blend of the two, The Lark Ascending comes only from the west side, where the grapes ripen more slowly. 

Tasted from barrel, the 2017 is deep, dark and rich with a more voluptuous finish than the same vintage of The Lark. The 2016 was better.
