Tasting
Notes: A deep ruby opaque color greets you, followed by
some oak and a slight dill odor. Definitely a fruit forward
wine with firm structure and medium tannins and body delivering
a pleasant mouthfeel leading to a nice finish with licorice
overtones. (Date tasted: 03/17/03)

Profile: Flora
Springs Winery & Vineyards dates back 30 years when
Jerry and Flora Komes bought their first vineyard in the
Napa Valley. They christened it Flora Springs after Flora
and the water source on the property. Their retirement
project became a lifetime passion for son John Komes and
daughter Julie Garvey and their families. Over the years,
Flora Springs acquired an additional eight unique vineyards
and planted almost 650 acres of vineyards in eight separate
locations. 70 percent of their fruit is sold to other wineries
while a selection is used for Flora Springs, producing
a wide array of wines. The grapes for Trilogy, their signature
wine, came from their estate vineyard, the Komes Ranch,
which surrounds Flora Springs.
