About the Producer
"Flanagan Wines was born out of my love for wine. I visited wine growing regions around the world from New Zealand to Greece. I was fascinated by how the changes in soils and climate created different styles of wine from same grape variety. This led to an interest in vineyard sites and to a focus on the soils and the climates that made each unique. In 1999 I purchased 40 acres on the heights of Bennett Mountain and Riley and I planted our first grapevine. In 2016 I purchased a great site just outside Healdsburg, redeveloped the vineyards, and moved our production to our new winery. I now produce wines from several of the most highly regarded vineyards in Sonoma County. Flanagan Wines is known for making great wines from the best vineyards in Sonoma County."
Tasting Notes
The nose has beautiful floral notes of Cedar, warm earth, and Rose Petals. The palate has delicious dark fruits like Black Currant and Black Plum skin that are complimented by an elegant tobacco note. This wine is tight and very structured in the same way that the 2013 was in its youth and I believe that 2019 will evolve like the 2013 vintage and age very gracefully.
