Flanagan Cabernet Sauvignon

Flanagan Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

Vintage: 2013
Description: Flanagan Cabernet are its ripe, seamless palate and its power. This wine displays a classic profile of a floral bouquet of violets and irises, but it is the palate that really displays the richness of the vintage. Deep black fruits, warm rock, mocha, and savory notes of olive and bay leaf flow seamlessly together in a truly beautiful glass of wine. Producer Our Estate vineyard sits at 1200 ft. elevation on the south and southwest facing slopes of Bennett Ridge in Sonoma County and has 13 acres of vines planted. The soils are rocky, volcanic cobbles with excellent drainage. The vines were planted in 2001 and 2002 on 6 x 4 spacing. Our vineyards perch at the confluence of two maritime influences: San Pablo Bay to the south and the Petaluma Gap to the west. Being a warm site in a cool climate means we bud break early and pick late. The extra hang time for the grapes, along with the low yields and the hillside site, delivers intense, complex fruit with beautiful flavors. Being attuned to the micro-climates that exist accross the estate, we've planted our Syrah at the bottom, Southwest facing slopes, while the higher, South facing sights are planted to Cabernet and Merlot. The winery was created from the ground up as a place to make great wines. Every aspect of the design was driven by the practical needs of a world-class winemaking facility. The winery space was created around our tank room and crush specifications. The same commitment we have to balance in the vineyards permeates our winery. Very classically, form follows function. The winery sits nestled into the hillside, surrounded by vineyards. The roof lines and materials are designed to fit seamlessly into the site. Rather than an imposition upon the site, it becomes part of the site. The equipment in the winery is all top flight. Our Vaslin-Bucher basket press produces lower juice yields per ton of fruit than a typical bladder press but it never extracts any harsh tannins. Our Taransaud 4 ton oak fermenters are functional works of art. The caves run straight back into the steep hill providing the perfect place for aging our wines. The caves are designed to be a "winemaker's cave" with no detail left out. The resulting wines express the truth of our site and the balance of our vines. Our site, our vineyards, and our winemaking all combine to create wines of intensity, structure, complexity….and beauty.
