Flora Springs 2006 Trilogy Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Trilogy
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Flora Springs / Napa Valley

Tough in tannins and dustily dry, this is a hard wine to warm up to. It’s not just the astringency but the absence of fruit. Shows modest flavors of cherries and blackberries, and doesn’t seem like an ager. A disappointment.
