777587 (744 views) | | | Tasted by Millennial Drinkers on 8/12/2017 & rated 93 points: Sixth blind wine for this weekend's tasting.
Deep ruby red with deep garnet edges. A touch dirty in the attack on the nose with some dark berries, and layered sweet spices. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Dark fruit profile on the palate with black and blue fruits. Lots of sweet and dark spices as well. Dark gravel undertones and a touch dry in the long finish. Still a baby and needs some more bottle age. Drink from 2018 till 2030. (93+) (923 views) | | | Tasted by walkerjfw on 5/15/2017 & rated 93 points: Nice visit to Flora Springs for tasting and tours. Purchased their PNV lot last year.
Dark ruby/purple color. Nose was dark fruits, truffles, licorice. Palate showed dark berries, blue fruits, plums, minerals/stone and vanilla. Long finish. Chewy tannins suggesting a few years to settle will add depth on the mid palate. A lot going on with this wine, great fruit and well made. Approachable now but will be much better (IMO) with 3+ years in bottle, should go a while post that (757 views) | | | Tasted by cab blends on 2/4/2017 & rated 95 points: Napa Visit with wine makers and owners; 2/3/2017-2/8/2017 (Napa, CA): Fruity nose but darker red black fruit.
PnP. This one needs time and decanting.
Very dark bold finish. Long dark finish. This seems to have great potential. (1240 views) | | | Tasted by Millennial Drinkers on 2/4/2017 & rated 96 points: Super dark purplish ruby red. Dark nose with dark cocoa, dark cinnamon, nutmeg, black and blue berries with some air. Thick and plush on the palate. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10), and full bodied. Lots of depth in the palate with dark cocoa, dark berries and a bit of twigs. Great structure and backbone. Rounded out on day two. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2034.

| Flora Springs Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Rutherford Rutherford,
