Larkmead Vineyards, Firebelle Red, 2014 Red Red Wine made entirely from whole-cluster fruitFirebelle Red is named after 'Firebelle Lil' Hitchcock Coit, the legendary San Francisco socialite associated with the Larkmead estate since the 1890s. This 2014 Red is Larkmead's tribute to that legacya wine that honors the estate's heritage while showcasing modern winemaking precision. The 2014 vintage's balanced ripeness and structure shine in this blended expression, now 12 years old and showing both primary fruit vibrancy and emerging complexity.
