  Deep purple in color, almost inky, with a short purple rim.
  
  Fruity nose of blackberries, cooked plums, sweet cherries, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, coffee, light cocoa powder and peppercorn.
  
  Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and tobacco.
  
  Tangy finish with round tannins and raspberries.
  
  This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Tangy and interesting.
  
  Spicy, rich and extracted, yet elegant. Nicely balanced with a nice mouth feel.
  
  I had the 2018 not too long ago, and it is very consistent.
  
  Very young, but already drinking nicely, after a couple of hours of airtime. A good quality wine that will age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
  
  A good sipping wine that doesn't necessarily need food, but will be great with a big piece of steak as well.
  
  A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Aged in mostly French oak barrels for 18 months.
  
  14.2% alcohol by volume.
  
  92 points.
  
  $85.

  The nose wafts sweet cigar tobacco, mountain strawberry, black cherry fruit leather, black pepper, and black currant. It’s a palate coating medium bodied palate with very smooth tannins and modest, precise acid. It’s surprisingly refined for its age. The flavor profile includes black cherry syrup, salty black plum, black currant, slightly funky underbrush, and faint bell pepper. Flora always delivers with the Trilogy and 2019 is no different. It’s imminently approachable now, but I get the sense there’s some good stuff hiding behind a good three to five more years in the bottle.
