The Winery
Flora Springs
Along the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in Rutherford’s Northwestern corner, Flora Springs Estate was established in 1978 on the property of an older winery from the 1800’s. The team cares for their 650 planted acres by farming sustainably and thinking forward about future generations. This family’s oriented property finds pride in being all knowing over their land, from paths the sun follows and minor soil changes, to the ripening patterns from vineyard block to block. Flora Springs has carved over 1,000 feet of caves out of their hillside and as of 2007 have installed 6,500 feet of solar panels; both of these techniques go to show that Flora Springs is a place where traditions are honored but modern technologies are utilized.
Tasting Notes
- WE94
- This is a wow wine, supported by small amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Blood orange, cranberry, cassis and raspberry provide a crisp counterpoint to the firm tannin structure, ending with grace and plenty of body, smoothly textured…
- WA92
- Flora Springs was among the first Napa wineries to create a Bordeaux blend called Trilogy, and the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Trilogy is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 6% Malbec. Notes of sweet plum, licorice, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit jump from the glass of this dense, dark ruby/purple wine. It’s medium to full-bodied, with impressive purity and elegance. It’s meant to be an elegant take of Napa viticulture and they’ve pulled it off fabulously. This wine has excellent balance of all its component parts, and should continue to drink well for 15-20 years.
