The Story
Firebelle 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 legacy—a 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. The Solari family's organic farming and careful cellar work result in a wine worthy of the legendary name it bears.
