Flanagan 2016 "Serenity Way" Proprietary Red

The 2016 Serenity Way has an expressive nose of rose hips, red cedar, anise and Bergamot. On the palate there are red and black fruits like red currant and black plum skin. There are also savory tobacco notes. The finish is long and clean. It reminiscent of the brilliant 2009 Serenity Way. Vintage after vintage Serenity Way displays elegance, power, and balance. The wine, like all Flanagan wines, is built on great fruit, restraint in wine making, balance, and ageability. If you think that Sonoma County can’t produce Cabernet to rival to Napa then you need to think again. The best mountain sites in Sonoma are producing wines that marry the elegance and nuance of Bordeaux with the consistent ripeness achievable in the North Coast.
