The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Lark continues to show beautifully, with a balanced, graceful, and surprisingly forward style. Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in new barrels, it has lots of savory blackcurrant and raspberry-like fruits as well as a kaleidoscope-like array of dried flowers, vanilla bean, baking chocolate, loamy earth, and leather. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has superb overall balance, ripe, polished tannins, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It needs a solid hour in a decanter if drinking any time soon and will certainly evolve for two decades in cold cellars.

Plenty of blackberry and blackcurrant with bark, mushroom and some flowers. Full-bodied with pretty density and depth, showing blackberries and dark cherries. Layered tannins. Hints of wood. Try after 2025.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Lark is gorgeous. It offers an exotic mélange of inky dark fruit, savory Calistoga accents and plenty of muscle to pull it all together. This dark, brooding Cabernet is decidedly virile, and yet all the elements are impressive. All this young, tightly-wound Cabernet needs is time. (AG)

Alluring, with a gorgeous curl of alder smoke emerging from the core of gently steeped black currant and blackberry fruit. Shows warm earth, sweet bay leaf, worn cedar, a flash of game and a smoldering tobacco note buried throughout, with a lingering cast iron accent amid the suave fruit. Distinctive and gorgeous. Drink now through 2039. (JM)
