2014 Four Flags 6.0L

RED MOUNTAIN AVA

The 2014 Four Flags Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits classic Cabernet aromas of cassis, violets and Herbs de Provence. This wine screams of Red Mountain’s terroir with its combination of great structure and ripeness.  On the palate, Four Flags is focused and savory with ripe, firm tannins. This vintage shows notes of fresh plums, currants and blueberries along with cardamom, fennel seed and a touch of flint. 

Blended from four of the finest vineyards in the Red Mountain AVA, Four Flags possesses the character, richness and venerable structure that have become the signature qualities of Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.

Each vineyard adds its unique pedigree to this complex blend. Grand Ciel (42%) brings elegance and purity of fruit while Upchurch (31%) demonstrates rich, savory, and mouthwatering character. Ciel du Cheval (19%) contributes structure, black fruits and minerality balanced by the commanding, ripe flavors from Klipsun (8%).

Masterfully blended, Four Flags is a harmonious and complex representation of the incomparable terroir of Red Mountain and a tribute to our steadfast commitment to this respected viticultural area.

"One of the more structured, tannic wines from the vintage is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Four Flags, which comes from four vineyards, offers fabulous minerality as well as plenty of black and blue fruits, licorice and graphite in a full-bodied, fresh, focused style. It’s showing a lot of elbows right now, but it should come together nicely once in bottle."
