Flora Springs
Reserve Rutherford Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
Annual guys WTF Christmas party with spouses. Lots of great wine. I’ll post my highlights with pics I got.
Undoubtedly the best Flora Springs wine I’ve had to date. Always a special place in my heart for FS as their Trilogy wine was the wine that opened my eyes to the world of wine (and we trek out to Napa every year for the Trilogy Release party...6 weeks from today!). This offering, along with Rennie’s Reserve, are my favorites out of their single vineyard offerings. With 7yrs of age, this has really gotten compact and structured. So much sweet and dense fruit here...very dark fruit profile, along with creme de cassis, sandalwood and dust. Fig, nutmeg, with mixed berry pie toward the finish. Pop and pour! Thanks @Benjamin Keator .

Revisiting a special wine - Rutherford dust and complexity in a glass!

Feb 4th, 2023A wine that has entered its prime. A rich example of Rutherford fruit albeit light on the normal « dust ». Dark fruit and vanilla in the middle to connect the almost floral bouquet to a long and pleasant finish.
