2021 Flora Springs Trilogy, USA, California, Napa, Wine Revfiew
While this is the 38th year of this bottling, it represents a sort of reboot as their vineyard sources have changed. In addition, they brought in winemaker Mike Smith as a consultant. Of course, the proof is in the pudding, er, wine. This is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec. Purple in color, opaque and bright. Pop and pour, this took about an hour to start to open and really got going at the two hour mark. The nose has cassis, blueberries, plums, black cherries, spice, and a slight minty (Eucalyptus?) note. Full bodied. Firm tannins.
