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

WA95
Another big time winner from Flora Springs, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Legacy (which I assume is their most expensive wine these days) has the most saturated ruby/purple color, pure blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit that completely obliterates the wood of the barrels it was aged in. Add to that a beautiful minerality in the background, spring flower components, and a full bodied mouthfeel all contribute to make for an elegant, yet powerful, well balanced wine that should hit its prime in another 4 5 years and last 25 30. It’s another terrific 2013 Flora Springs.
