2014 Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Rennie Reserve
Tasting Note:February 4, 2017
Deep and dark ruby red. Lovely and thick nose with dark cocoa, floral notes, lots of bright red cherries, cinnamon and more baking spices. Heavy tannins (8/10) and drying. Lots of red berries, especially cherries on the palate. Some twigs and earthiness too. Long and lingering finish that needs some time. Little bit of heat in the finish.
Tried at the Flora Springs Trilogy Release Party. Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Block C in the Komes Ranch. Aged for 22 months in 95% French oak and 5% American oak, of which 70% is new. Only 650 cases produced.
