Flora Springs Trilogy Meritage 2005


Bright black cherry nose with a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. Decent with a nice balance of fruit and tannin. A hint of pepper and a round warmth provided by the oak make this smooth and toasty.

Wine Advocate: The vintage is exemplified beautifully by the 2005 Trilogy. This is a superb example of this proprietary red. Beautiful deep red, blue, and black fruits all intermingle with some crushed rock, lavender, and spice box in a very scented bouquet. In the mouth, it is layered, medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin, gorgeous purity, and length. This is a stunning wine that should drink nicely for 15 or more years. Score: 93. —Robert Parker, December 2007.
