The 2008 Vintage started off with a chill as a late frost swept thru wine country. Many of our neighbors down on the valley floor lost 20-40% of their crop. The good news is we had no frost damage at all. Due to our very steep site, south aspect, and 1200 foot elevation we have never experienced any frost damage. The defining attribute of our 2008 Flanagan Cabernet is balance. Cassis, blackberry, and graphite marry beautifully with nuances of vanilla and toasty mocha. This wine, like all of our wines, is a food wine and pairs compellingly with classic cabernet fare.
