Flora Springs Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Wild Boar Vineyard 2006
Hillside fruit from Pope Valley's Wild Boar Vineyard delivers low-yielding, concentrated berries that Flora Springs ferments in small lots and ages in French oak. The 2006 vintage showcases the vineyard's raw power—black licorice, black cherry, and fresh herbs on the nose lead to a palate filled with milk chocolate, plum, dried thyme, and candied cherries. Nearly two decades of age have softened the wine's assertive character, though it still carries the mineral intensity and structure that makes this vintage rewarding.
