Additional Information

Bold, rich and highly extracted, this generous red is packed with boysenberry, black cherry, dark plum and black currant layered with milk chocolate, vanilla bean, cola and a hint of earthy cedar. Seasoned French and American oak adds just the right amount of toasty warmth, and the wine’s tannins, while firm, are round and smooth. This is a decadent wine, almost Port-like in its abundant fruit, with an umami-like unctuousness that leads to a long, satisfying finish.

Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot

Tasting Notes

Critical Acclaim

RP93 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec and 8% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Trilogy offers up aromas of cassis, blackberries and black cherries with hints of vanilla, chocolate and baking spices. Full-bodied, concentrated, expressive and open for business, it's spicy and velvety in the mouth with a long finish.

JS93 - James Suckling
Hot stones, oyster shell, ripe stems, pressed violets and nutmeg. Full-bodied with round, ripe tannins that are structured and dense, fine acidity and a fruit-forward finish. A blend of 82% cabernet sauvignon, 10% malbec and 8% petit verdot.

WW93 - Wilfred Wong
COMMENTARY: With every passing year, I ask myself, "Can Napa Valley reds return to its history of elegance? Up to the early 1970s, the region's Cabernets hovered around the 12.5% alcohol. Today's top efforts are often reaching 15.5% and higher. In both eras, the wines were bona fide successes. The 2015 Flora Springs Trilogy, one of the top wines of the vintage, exhibits excellent balance that suggests winery restraint. TASTING NOTES: This is a polished wine that is a close to a claret as a Napa Valley Cabernet blend can be. Its beautiful and refined red and black fruit aromas and flavors are accented with just the right amount of oak. Pair its stylish palate with grilled lamb chops.

TP93 - Tasting Panel
Lush and sumptuous with dense plum and berry fruit and a smooth texture; deep and showing promise for long aging. An unctuous addition to a series dating back to 1984.
