• 2008 Larkmead Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley (4/11/2011)
  Pop and pour. Big nose of sweet dark fruits with a hint of spice. The palete is dominated by blackberry, cassis and a suprising amount of pepper, with some vanilla and a slight herbal note in the background. really drinking well with moderate tannins and silky texture. (92 pts.)

Delicious wine. It is in a better place than the 07 right now, IMO.

+1. Had another 08 Firebelle this weekend, and it’s really good!

Starting to hear rumblings about the 07s in general taking a bit of a step back, while the 2008s are really coming together. I’m talking Napa Cabernets.

07’s are shutting down (have been for maybe the last 6 months?). 08’s will soon enough as well.

I have had both the Larkmead and Snowden 07 recently and both seemed to be shutting down, much more closed than a year ago.
