My last bottle of this wine purchased originally through auction and it was terrific. Opened for a wine event and it vanished quickly. Creme de cassis, smoke, spice and some of the nice tannins that usually accompany Flora Springs wines. A smooth excellent bottle. Seems like it could go another year or two but I would say don’t wait too much longer on this one.

Dark purple hue - nose of cassis and cedar. Big bold flavors, balanced, but not so overblown to make it unenjoyable. Flavors of dried cassis, gripping blackberry, touch of wood and spice. Drying (faded) tannins on the medium finish.

Acid is a little more prominent than I would have liked, but otherwise a solid cab.
