Just flat-out delicious, this wine opens with beautifully refreshing aromas of tangerine oil, lemon zest, crushed Marcona almonds, and lily of the valley. Medium-bodied and impeccably balanced, the palate delivers succulent ripe orchard and stone fruit, with subtle hints of tropical notes—vanilla-laced guava and pineapple core—adding depth and intrigue. The finish is long and vibrant, marked by wet slate minerality and saline-acid tension, bringing remarkable energy and freshness—a stunningly poised and expressive wine. (JC)

Aromas of sliced lemons, yellow apples, passion fruit coulis, sea spray and white pepper. The palate is light-bodied with underlying generosity and bright acidity, giving notes of Asian pears, fresh quince and minerals. Great balance and purity. Drink or hold.

A barrel-fermented offering, Larkmead's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Lillie saw 32% new French oak, using those hints of pencil shavings to help structure the nose and rein in the notions of gooseberries, melon and fig. It's medium- to full-bodied, which gives it a plump, creamy and expansive feel on the mid-palate, balanced by tart acids on the crisp finish. (JC)

Rich and juicy, offering touches of beeswax and wildflower honey, with Himalayan sea salt, sweetgrass, lemon zest, pear, pomelo and Honeycrisp apple flavors. Shows a lingering note of Key lime pie on the finish. Drink now. (MW)
