Winemaker Notes

Bold, rich and highly extracted, this generous red is packed with boysenberry, black cherry, dark plum and black currant layered with milk chocolate, vanilla bean, cola and a hint of earthy cedar. Seasoned French and American oak adds just the right amount of toasty warmth, and the wine’s tannins, while firm, are round and smooth. This is a decadent wine, almost Port-like in its abundant fruit, with an umami-like unctuousness that leads to a long, satisfying finish.

Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

  • 93

    A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec and 8% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Trilogy offers up aromas of cassis, blackberries and black cherries with hints of vanilla, chocolate and baking spices. Full-bodied, concentrated, expressive and open for business, it's spicy and velvety in the mouth with a long finish.

  • 93

    Hot stones, oyster shell, ripe stems, pressed violets and nutmeg. Full-bodied with round, ripe tannins that are structured and dense, fine acidity and a fruit-forward finish. A blend of 82% cabernet sauvignon, 10% malbec and 8% petit verdot.

    COMMENTARY: With every passing year, I ask myself, "Can Napa Valley reds return to its history of elegance? Up to the early 1970s, the region's Cabernets hovered around the 12.5% alcohol. Today's top efforts are often reaching 15.5% and higher. In both eras, the wines were bona fide successes. The 2015 Flora Springs Trilogy, one of the top wines of the vintage, exhibits excellent balance that suggests winery restraint. TASTING NOTES: This is a polished wine that is a close to a claret as a Napa Valley Cabernet blend can be. Its beautiful and refined red and black fruit aromas and flavors are accented with just the right amount of oak. Pair its stylish palate with grilled lamb chops. (Tasted: July 11, 2018, Napa, CA USA)

    Lush and sumptuous with dense plum and berry fruit and a smooth texture; deep and showing promise for long aging. An unctuous addition to a series dating back to 1984.

    This is solid, with a core of crushed plum and warmed raspberry puree flavors inlaid liberally with anise and apple wood notes. Shows juicy, brambly energy through the finish that brings you back for more. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028.
  • 90

    This vintage of the well-known blend combines 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec and 8% Petit Verdot. Rich, smooth and concentrated, it offers a wealth of cherry, vanilla, plum and mocha flavors, the finish dotted in black pepper and cedar.

Flora Springs Flora Springs Bridge Winery Image
Flora Springs is a family endeavor that epitomizes hard work, dedication and teamwork . The vitality of this family is obvious as they set about the task of growing great grapes and making absolutely delicious wine.

It all began over 20 years ago, when Jerry and Flora Komes bought the first vineyard - a vineyard with lots of history, great soils and two ghost wineries. Their retirement project became a lifetime passion for son John Komes and daughter Julie Garvey and their families. John quickly talked the family (including another brother Mike Komes) into making wine. Julie worked side by side with John as the first two years they made the wines. Julie’s husband Pat Garvey took over the vineyard side of things. In 1980, Ken Deis was hired as winemaker and he has been part of the family ever since.

Winemaker Ken Deis makes use of every tool at his disposal. First of all, he trusts his senses: The feel of the berry in his fingers, the taste of the fruit and then the wine, the smells during fermentation. A winemaker needs to understand the source of his fruit and Ken has worked closely with vineyard manager Pat Garvey for more than 20 years so that they can anticipate the challenges that each vintage brings. Ken has also adopted the same curiosity that the entire Komes-Garvey family has and it has paid off royally in the quality of his wines.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
