Flora Springs Trilogy 1999
Bordeaux Red Blends
from Napa Valley, California
winemaker's notes:
Varietal: 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42%Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec
The philosophy of blending is basic to the concept of Trilogy. We approach this wine like an artist with a palette of colors. The result is a complex masterpiece of flavors and aromas that have great persistence on the palate and are tempered with a sense of elegance and finesse.
A preliminary Trilogy blend was made after malo-lactic fermentation had concluded. The wine rested quietly in small (50% new) French oak barrels until just prior to bottling. In 1998 we added Malbec to the blend for the first time and we were so pleased with the result that we included it in the 1999 version as well. The Malbec adds depth of color and an intense blueberry, black plum character to the wine.
