2008 Larkin Cabernet Franc Napa Valley
94pts(WA)2008 has turned out to be a top year for Bordeaux varietals in Napa Valley and Larkin’s 2008 Cabernet Franc is outstanding. Its stunning perfume offers up scents of boysenberries, black currants, black cherries, spring flowers and forest floor. Full-bodied with a velvety texture and serious intensity, but not a lot of weight or structure to fight through, this beauty should drink nicely for 10-15 years.
Sean Larkin’s main project is producing these two brilliant wines that seem to score highly no matter what the vintage. Robert Parker Wine advocate #192 December 2010
