2009 Flanagan Sonoma County Chardonnay
(170 cases produced) The 2009 Flanagan Chardonnay is a classic example of balance and is drinking beautifully. The nose is elegant with hints of honeysuckle, apricot, meyer lemon and spice. In the mouth, the wine balances minerality with bright, clean fruit and a light touch of vanilla oak. The texture and richness on the palate is exactly what you would expect froma top Sonoma Chardonnay. (Sold Out)

2008 Flanagan Syrah
(96 cases produced) This Syrah presents a suductive, feminine nose redolent with ripe black fruit and a hint of lavender. On the palate the wine is both soft and very full. There is spice and cola notes, along with ripe concentrated blackberry fruit. Marrying the intense fruit with 100% new French oak, and producing a wine where the alcohol, oak and fruit are all in harmony is a beautiful thing. (Sold Out)

2007 Flanagan Cabernet Sauvignon
(544 cases produced) The 2007 Cabernet delivers power and finesse. This wine releases the warmth of the vintage and retains the minerality, balance, and pure black fruit characteristic of our site. The aroma is an unfolding story of mocha, vanilla and black fruits and it is very focused on the palate with a super-pure cassis front and mid-palate that resolves into a finish that is just like the bouquet. This wine will age effortlessly for many, many years. (Sold Out)

2007 Flanagan Syrah
(122 cases produced) Bennett Valley, which is Sonoma County’s newest appellation, is rapidly gaining renown for the quality of its Syrah. Because we are at elevation with steep, south and southwest aspects, we have one of the warmest (and rockiest) sites in Bennett Valley. We love the varietal character of these wines and because of the ripeness we get on our site, we get a lush flavor profile and silky ripe tannins. (Sold Out)

2006 Flanagan Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2006 vintage was wonderful for us and produced a profound, complex wine that is distinctive for its ripeness and suppleness. I have believed from the beginning that Philippe’s tremendous talent for creating balanced, healthy wines, coupled with our extreme hillside site, would produce an exceptional result. And so it has. Sommeliers love it because it is great straight out of the bottle. (Sold Out)

2005 Flanagan Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine shows a wonderful, intense ruby color. The powerful yet harmonious nose reveals fresh crushed berries, cola, anis, strawberry essence, creamy and silky aromas combined with licorice. The bouquet is an invitation to taste and the wine does not disappoint. (Sold Out)
