Description

The 2010 Trilogy is a beautifully balanced, opulent wine that leaves you wanting more. The aromatics jump out of the glass, luscious black cherry and sandalwood followed by blueberry and rhubarb. Black cherry is the driving force in the palate married with white pepper and sage and finishing with sweet earth and mushroom tones.


In 1984 we set out to make the best wine possible by hand selecting the highest quality lots from our estate vineyards. Using a blend of Bordeaux varietals--Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec--we created Trilogy, one of the original Meritage wines. Over the years, we have found that the Merlot brings a bright red fruit character to the wine while the Cabernet and Malbec deliver rich, black fruit qualities.

On the Vine
After more than three decades of crafting elegant, complex wines from our Napa Valley estate vineyards, Trilogy remains one of Flora Springs most revered legacies. Blended from three Bordeaux varietals, the wine embodies meticulous, sustainable farming practices along with the evolution of a wine style originated by the Komes and Garvey families and honed to perfection by winemaker Paul Steinauer. The three varietals (occasionally we add a fourth!) merge together to form a beautifully balanced lush wine, with delicate aromatics of light pepper and granite dust and trademark flavors of ripe blackberries, blueberries and cassis. We are proud to say that after thirty-three years of winemaking and twenty-five years of crafting Trioogy, our goal remains the same: to handcraft the finest wine possible from the Flora Springs estate.
