Flora Springs Trilogy 2017

Trilogy is Flora Springs’ flagship wine, one that dates back to 1984 when our family decided to
make the finest wine possible by selecting the highest quality wine lots culled from our estate
vineyards in Napa Valley. Back then it was one of Napa Valley’s first proprietary red blends,
and today this Bordeaux-style wine continues to be sourced from our own Komes-Garvey estate
vineyards. In 2017 this iconic wine brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and
Malbec grown in Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominates at
80% of the blend, yielding a deep purple-black wine that offers warm notes of black plum, black
cherry and cassis layered with mocha, hints of tobacco, cola and wild herbs. The flavors are
mouth coating and generous, but the wine retains a freshness due to lovely acidity and sleek
tannins. The mix of French and American oak adds spice and notes of vanilla crème that linger
on a satisfying finish. This is a beautiful Napa Cab, ideal with a NY strip steak or other favorite
cut. Eggplant parmesan would also make a nice match, as would a slow-braised lamb or beef
dish
