Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2010

Good ruby-red. Musky aromas of plum syrup, earth, tobacco, herbs and chocolatey oak; suggests less even ripening than the 2007. Then reasonably rich but a bit dry in the mouth, and less harmonious than the '07. A medicinal menthol quality gives this wine a slightly disjointed feel.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2009-2024, Robert Parker, Dec 2009

The outstanding 2006 Trilogy (73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is a large production cuvee of 6,500 cases. Revealing lots of roasted herb, cedar, black currant, and sweet cherry notes, an endearing, medium to full-bodied texture, exceptional elegance, purity, and length, stunning balance, and ripe tannins (no easy task in a vintage such as 2006), it should drink well for 10-15 years. One of the most impressive portfolios from Flora Springs that I have tasted has emerged from their extensive vineyard holdings. Flora Springs’ single vineyard offerings are all 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with somewhat limited availability production ranges from 370-400 cases of each. Tel. (707) 963-5711; Fax (707) 963-7518
