The Lark Ascending
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
"The Lark Ascending" is a one-of-a-kind, 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from an exclusive, single-parcel from our estate. Over the course of the last decade, we have spent an enormous amount of time and energy studying and replanting this vineyard. The large gestures are complete and the new chapter of our wines are all about nuance and refinement. This soil-selected, single parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of the most unique and exciting wines we produce from our vineyard. Its density and power are seamless, while its tension proves it has the structure to age for two decades or more.
