Drink up! This pair is delicious

May 3, 2018 by Julia

Flora Springs has created a 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that celebrate winemaking skills and define elegance. Your time swirling and sipping these incredible selection is long past due.

Opaque and densely purple, this is a rich, beautifully extracted Cabernet Sauvignon ($50) offering an opulent nose of black cherry syrup, blackberry preserves, vanilla, brown butter and a whisper of anise. Its warm, cozy flavors entice the palate with cedar. Supple tannins frame the full-bodied mouthfeel of this classic Napa Cab, that leaves a lasting impression of the St.. Helena, Oakville and Rutherford terroir.

The Napa Valley Merlot ($30) is a perennial favorite at the winery, it was known to be Flora Komes’ “go to” wine as she loved its bright fruit flavors and smooth supple texture. The enticing varietal opens with aromas of Bing cherry, fresh raspberry, plus surprise hints of cocoa and fresh mint.The palate bursts with red fruit flavors and notes of cedar, orange tea and baking spice.

Indulge your hedonistic side and uncork this pair tonight.
