Revisiting Flora Springs Trilogy

It's been a number of years since I last tried a bottle Flora Springs wine, so Saturday night I decided to give it a try.  The 2008 Flora Springs Trilogy is a Bordeaux style blend made from 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 2.5% Petit Verdot and 2.5% Malbec.  The wine has a deep ruby red color; it tastes of cherry and other dark fruit notes, along with spice and oak in a full bodied wine with silky smooth tannins.  
While I enjoyed the wine, I feel that at $62 you could find a more satisfying bottle at that price point.
Ratings: WE94, RP91
