Flora Springs 2005 Rennie Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)

Cellar Selection

Price $100

An extraordinary wine, among the greatest Cabs in Flora Springs’ long history. One hundred percent varietal, and made from a single clone, it shows fabulous density and serious weight, with dramatically rich blackberry, currant and cedar flavors anchored by a firm minerality. For all its power, the wine is balanced and elegant. An ager, it will drink well for at… — S.H. (4/1/2009)

Flora Springs 2008 Hillside Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Price $100

A wonderfully smooth, dry, complex young Cabernet, and yes, the tannins have that famous Rutherford dust. The wine is the opposite of a fruit bomb, with moderate alcohol and interesting flavors of herbs, cherries, blackberries and spicy sandalwood. As good as it is now, it should ride out the next 8–10 years. — S.H. (7/1/2011)

Flora Springs 2005 Trilogy Red (Napa Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $65

A drop-dead gorgeous red blend that continues Flora Springs’ fine streak of Bordeaux-style wines. Full-bodied and dry, it’s balanced and rich, with complex flavors of currants, minerals, cedar and spice. The tannins are strong, but ultra-refined. Drink this high-quality wine now and through 2015. — S.H. (5/1/2009)

Flora Springs 2007 Hillside Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Cellar Selection

Price $100

An amazingly rich, complex and ageworthy wine. Made from 100% Cabernet grapes, it shows firm, plush flavors of blackberries and black currants, with a sour cherry candy tartness that’s clean and piquant in the mouth. But the wine is also very tannic, giving a dry astringency through the finish. Should reward time in the cellar. Best 2012–2018. — S.H. (6/1/2010)

Flora Springs 2007 Rennie Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)

Price $100

What a wonderful wine. So pure, so fine and so Bordeaux-esque, like a fine young Margaux that needs time. Made from 100% Cabernet grapes, it shows classic blackberry and black currant flavors, beautifully oaked, with smooth, polished tannins and a fleshy mouthfeel. A feminine wine, it has great charm now, and should develop in the bottle for many years. — S.H. (6/1/2010)

Flora Springs 2008 Trilogy Red (Napa Valley)

Price $65

A flashy, classy wine, grown in the estate vineyard in the benchlands and hills above Rutherford. Shows lots of sweet, ripe cherry fruit and toasty oak, but has enough of an acid-tannin structure to dry it out for balance. Should hold and develop over the next 6–8 years. — S.H. (7/1/2011)

Flora Springs 2007 Out of Sight Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $85

The tannins are strong in this 100% Cab, giving it a tough astringency, but there’s no denying the wealth of blackberries, black currants, violets and cedar that flood the mouth and last through a long, spicy finish. The vineyard is in the cooler southern part of the valley, on the east side of Oak Knoll. Give this wine time. 2012–2018. — S.H. (6/1/2010)

Flora Springs 1996 Trilogy Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $45

Extremely complex aromas of black currants, violets, oak, cedar, and, yes, Rutherford dust. Very fine and complete, really classy, and already generous. Velvety and complex. These days, this is a relative bargain for a wine of this quality. There’s a lot of Merlot in the blend, but I felt compelled to include it anyway. — W.E. (11/15/1999)
