2017 Four Flags Cabernet
RED MOUNTAIN AVA
The 2017 Four Flags shows elegance and restraint on the nose. Initially tightly wound and impenetrable, fruit begins to emerge- blue and red aromas of cranberry, blueberries and anise, with alluring black tea, gravel and cedar adding refinement. Absolutely enclosed by generous oak, ample fruit seeps through, delivering the savory balance Red Mountain typifies. A long finish carried by persistent and building tannin offers great promise for the future.
