Most
every major Cabernet Sauvignon producer in Napa has their flagship wine and for
Flora Springs, it is Trilogy, which first appeared in 1984. Trilogy has an
emphasis on New French Oak and if you love that luxurious, smooth, comforting
type of wine, this certainly will play well on your table. The fruit comes from
Oakville, St. Helena, and Rutherford so though subtle, it offers some of the
best grapes from quality growing regions.
The 2016 iteration offers up rich black berry, blueberry, boysenberry and black cherry notes, along with
vanilla, white pepper, cinnamon and subtle notes of amber, sugared almonds and
black strap molasses, chaparral and cocoa. Trilogy is comprised mainly of
Cabernet Sauvignon, with just 8% Petite Verdot and 6% Malbec. Aged 20 months
with mostly French Oak it accentuates what many Napa Cabs strive for, a balance
on fruit, food and place.
