'01 Flora Springs Napa Valley C.S.

[newsguy]

($24.99; 14.2% alcohol) bright ruby, with a hint of purple. beautiful, full nose of cherry, dark fruits and spice. very good flavors of red fruits in the mouth. silky mouthfeel, is elegant on the entry and begins expanding midpalate and through the very long finish. full, fine drying tannins will take this one quite a ways. one of those rare wines that shows elegance as well as a bit of muscle, 91+ points.
