- Flora is the family matriarch and Springs refers to their water source flows uninterrupted regardless of drought
- Family owns eight different vineyard sites within the Valley and sell 70% of their fruit to other wineries.
- Winemaker, Ken Deis, has been at Flora Springs since 1980.
Flora Springs has built its legacy on beautiful and complex wines that
can be enjoyed either as young and vibrant or as cellared and graceful.
The 2005 Trilogy may be their boldest statement yet. It exhibits all the
classic Trilogy attributes with a lovely cassis and cherry bouquet as
well as huge black fruit flavors that envelope the palate. Each
varietal is vital to the outcome - the Cabernet exhibits black cherry
and dark cocoa character, while the Merlot carries these flavors to the
back of the palate where the Cabernet Franc adds notes of coffee and
toffee to the finish. Unrelenting with power and grace, the 2005
Trilogy is the perfect wine to mark Flora Springs’ 30th anniversary
year.
93 POINTS - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 28, 2007
"The vintage is exemplified beautifully by the 2005 Trilogy. This is a superb example of this proprietary red. Beautiful deep red, blue, and black fruits all intermingle with some crushed rock, lavender, and spice box in a very scented bouquet. In the mouth, it is layered, medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin, gorgeous purity, and length. This is a stunning wine that should drink nicely for 15 or more years."
91 POINTS,Gold Medal. Cellar Selection -Tastings.com, March 2008
"Vibrant floral and spicy aromas of blueberry, linkwort, candle wax,
and dried lilacs follow through to a satiny, dry-yet-fruity medium to
full body with depth layers of flavor and an elegant, polished tannin
fade. An outstanding rich and well framed blend with serve with filet
mignon."
