Flora Springs, Napa Valley (California) 2018

Aug 15, 2021

By Rich Cook

 Blended reds with a reputation like this bottling has held for decades succeed because the winemaker chooses to follow a deliciousness model rather than a sense of place or varietal character model, letting their artistic side show a little more than usual.  There is a good amount of Malbec in this offering, and it was chosen wisely.  It’s driving the red fruit-dominant profile, but it doesn’t overshadow the spice and vanilla elements.   Flora Springs Trilogy is a celebration of winemaking in a bottle.  Contains 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec and 9% Petit Verdot.
