2015 Four Flags

Cabernet Sauvignon

Befitting a wine sourced from great vineyards on Red Mountain, the 2015 Four Flags presents properly developed fruit aromas of blackberry, red currant and black cherry, balanced with savory herbs, roasted coffee, cedar and anise.  The vanguards of the palate are blueberries and fresh plums reinforced by dense, ripe tannin and mouthwatering acidity with an unyielding finish.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Four Flags comes from the top four vineyards in any vintage and in 2015 is 30% Grand Ciel, 30% Upchurch, 25% Ciel du Cheval, and the rest from Klipsun. It’s a rich, powerful wine that offers boatloads of ripe black cherries, crushed violets, incense, and Asian spice aromatics. Rich, full-bodied, supple, and impressively concentrated, it shows the ripe yet focused/elegant style of the vintage.

Pairing Suggestion

Beef Bourguignon — We recommend pairing Four Flags with Beef Short Ribs, Venison Cheeks, Lamb Shanks, Burgers, or Earthy Vegetables. Tannin levels are high in this Cabernet Sauvignon, a trait typical of Red Mountain wine, pairing particularly well with nutty cheeses and oily fats.
