"Our inaugural 2007 True Companion Cabernet Sauvignon from Larkmead Vineyard in Calistoga strives to respect the characters associated with this historic Napa Cabernet Vineyard. Legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff considered Larkmead to be one of his top three vineyards in the entire Napa Valley, producing one the most elegant and refined versions of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The sun drenched exposure and deep alluvial soils create a sweet and graceful character that few vineyards in the Valley can hope to match. The charm of Larkmead Vineyard is its ability to be immediately accessible with a range of fine foods. Its legendary status confers a certain future in bottle for those who prefer to age their Cabernets." - Winemaker's Notes
