  After holding for seven years, we decided to finally open this one up to try for ourselves. Agreed with everything BABLUES said, save for the nose, which was California fruit all the way. A great Napa wine that is just singing right now. Another great example of the excellent wines Flora Springs has produced over the years, and a reminder of why we love it so much.

  The last bottle was so good I couldn't wait to polish off the last one. I am usually more disciplined with spacing these out. Consistent with previous notes.

  It has been about 4 years since I last tried this. To me, this is what Napa Cabernet's represent. Impeccable balance. Some old world charateristics on the nose of black currant and dark berries. Palate was amazing and smooth with a long, elegant finish.

  Popped and poured.
  Second time is much nicer.
  A little heat, prune, black currant, flower
  Raspberry, blackberry on nose and flavor. Big and bold. Above average Cali cab.
  Very tasty.

  Opened and let breath for 1 hour
  
  Blueberry, bacon fat, strawberry all nose. Very subtle and soft on both nose and flavors. Round flavor profile. Strawberry, red currant and vanilla on the flavor profile. I was expecting a bit more power on this one. I would like to try again.
