"A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec, Flora Springs's 2021 Trilogy offers up an intriguing bouquet of ripe cherries, fine sandalwood and a hint of mint too. While not a huge blockbuster wine, it's medium to full-bodied, nicely proportioned and silky in feel, with a lingering finish." Joe Czerwinski Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 points Drink 2025-35

The flagship 2021 Trilogy from this estate checks in as 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, and the rest Malbec, all raised in mostly (all?) new oak. This medium to full-bodied, ripe, concentrated, satisfying effort has lots of blueberry and darker raspberry-like fruit, some chocolaty oak and dusty minerality, ripe tannins, and a great finish. I love its overall balance, it has notable purity, and I see no reason it shouldn't evolve for 15-20 years.

Ripe blackberries, cassis, black olives, cedar and vanilla on the nose. Hints of pencil shavings, too. Full and polished with fine and compact tannins and a lingering finish. Bright and vivid. Better after 2025.

This offers vanilla and mocha notes, followed by a lush, soft-edged set of plum compote and blackberry flavors. Shows a savory hint as well before the toast takes over for good on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drink now through 2029. 2,300 cases made.
