Before I get into the notes, Flora Springs “Trilogy” is one of those wines from my formative years in this wine journey. Subsequently, it holds a special place in my heart. You can probably imagine how excited I was to enjoy the 1994 a vintage I likely drank long ago, out of a double-magnum no less! Giddy.
Popped and poured from double-magnum into red Solo cups and enjoyed her the course of an hour. The 1994 “Trilogy” pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated dark and red fruits: brambles, currants, plums, tobacco, old leather, dusty earth and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is silky. The large format has no doubt had an effect on this wine’s nearly evergreen properties but what a treat! Drink now regardless of format and enjoy this in its full maturity. — 2 months ago

"Odedi"
Purple in color with medium intensity and a wide purplish rim.
Fruit forward on the nose with earth and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, light vegetables and black pepper.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Syrah feels more like a Grenache than a Syrah. Showing nice balance between the fruits and earth notes.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
100% whole Cluster Syrah grapes were aged in (8% New) French oak barrels for 21 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
