2017 Flora Springs Merlot

Merlot from Napa USA

Flora Springs was founded in 1978, but their legacy dates back to the late 1800s when wine grapes were first planted on the Napa Valley property that is now their estate vineyards.

The 2017 vintage draws on estate fruit from Flora Springs' sustainably-farmed vineyards in Oakville, St. Helena and Rutherford, properties they have owned and farmed for decades. Only 3400 cases were produced for the world.
