After a hiatus during 2010 and 2011, The Lark was back in 2012 - this was the vintage where Petroski began shifting it to a vineyard designate wine, a process that was finalised in 2013. 2012 was a warm vintage that produced a lot of soft, almost mushy mid-weight wines whose quality hasn’t measured up to the early hype. Yet some producers made brilliant Cabernets that are open and seductive, and The Lark falls into the latter camp. <br><br>It’s intense, bright and berryish, almost juicy, with chalky tannins and a softer, more luxurious texture than earlier vintages. Wisely, it was aged in less new oak. Production was 290 cases, three-times the amount made in earlier years.
