2015 Flora Springs Trilogy

Estate: Flora Springs Family Estate
Region: Napa Valley, North Coast, California, United States of America


Tasting Note:January 25, 2018

Deep and dark purplish ruby red. Layered nose with notes of vanilla bean, anise, cinnamon, cassis, blackberries and more baking spices. A little dark cocoa with some air. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and full body potential. A little spicy on the palate with lots of red and black fruits. Notes of cinnamon and sweet spices too. Long and lingering finish. Still just a baby that will improve with a few months, even years in the bottle.
