Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon -1999 (WE-21168)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This vineyard is in the Pope Valley section, a warm, eastern part of Napa. The wine is delicious and impeccably made, but a little heavy, with notes of raisins, especially in the aroma, and a finish dominated by sweet dark chocolate. The oak overlay is elaborate, if a trifle obvious. Seems expensive for the quality. 1 Note

Flora Springs Meritage -2000 (WE-26504)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

When this wine was first produced it was a blend of three Bordeaux varietals, but longtime winemaker Ken Deis has since expanded his palate. This year’s version is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc and Malbec. A young, dense wine with significant tannins, it is marked by an overlay of well-charred oak, but the core of cassis suggests ageability. 1 Note

Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon -1998 (WE-16889)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Light, elegant and sweet, as succulent as a chocolate cherry bonbon. It has the lip-smacking quality of a fine candy, a blast of stone fruit that coats the mouth in unguent sweetness and then lingers there for a while. 1 Note

Flora Springs Cabernet Blend -2003 (WE-58943)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Trilogy used to be made from three Bordeaux varieties; hence the name. The ’03 is all five, dominated by Cab Sauvignon. The wine is a little hard now, keeping itself aloof due to the tannins. Yet it has deep, blue and black fruit flavors and a Margaux-like elegance and harmony, and should develop quite well over the next 10 years. 1 Note

Flora Springs Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2005 (WE-92261)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A drop-dead gorgeous red blend that continues Flora Springs’ fine streak of Bordeaux-style wines. Full-bodied and dry, it’s balanced and rich, with complex flavors of currants, minerals, cedar and spice. The tannins are strong, but ultra-refined. Drink this high-quality wine now and through 2015. 1 Note

Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon -1997 (WE-4701)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Cassis, blackberry and coffee aromas are 100% typical of Napa Cabernet. It’s a clean, well-cut smoothy that may not top the charts in complexity, but for a straight-ahead Cab, it’s got it all. Drink soon; the chewy palate says, “I’m ready.” 1 Note

Flora Springs Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2006 (WE-103279)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Tough in tannins and dustily dry, this is a hard wine to warm up to. It’s not just the astringency but the absence of fruit. Shows modest flavors of cherries and blackberries, and doesn’t seem like an ager. A disappointment. 1 Note

Flora Springs Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2004 (WE-75567)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A blend of the two Cabernets and Merlot, the ’04 Trilogy shows the wine’s traditional elegance. The flavors are extremely ripe, suggesting blackberries, cherries and cocoa, with a sugared finish. Fully drinkable now due to the softness of the tannins. 1 Note

Flora Springs Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2008 (WE-131147)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A flashy, classy wine, grown in the estate vineyard in the benchlands and hills above Rutherford. Shows lots of sweet, ripe cherry fruit and toasty oak, but has enough of an acid-tannin structure to dry it out for balance. Should hold and develop over the next 6–8 years. 1 Note

Flora Springs Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2007 (WE-111738)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, this is a good, smooth wine that shows its Napa origins in the ripeness of fruit and classy tannins. Floods the mouth with blackberries and oak. There’s a certain sharpness that cuts through the richness and lasts through the finish, which may limit ageability, so drink soon. 1 Note
