2021 Etched Halloween Moon

2021 Etched Halloween Moon

“Oh, how the candles will be lit and the wood of worm burn in a fiery dust. For on All Hallows’ Eve will the spirits come to play.” — Solange Nicole

Flora Springs has the distinction of being home to one of Napa Valley’s original “ghost wineries” – wineries built between 1860 and 1900 but abandoned in the early 20th century due to vine disease, the Great Depression, and Prohibition. Today, some ghost wineries still exist as ruins, but others, such as Flora Springs, have been renovated and restored to their former glory. Each year we bottle small amounts of estate-grown wines in honor of this illustrious history.

THE HALLOWEEN MOON

VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION, ONLY 20 CASES MADE.

Hand-etched and painted in intricate silver and gold, Halloween Moon depicts the moon phases, delicate botanical forms and mysterious central "Harvest Moon". An enchanting nod to the mystery and magic of the autumn, the bats become part of our story, guardians of the vines as midnight takes hold.

WINEMAKER NOTES

Our 2021 Red Blend consists primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and combines fruit from outstanding, sustainably-farmed vineyards in Napa Valley; the Komes Vineyard in Rutherford and the Crossroads vineyard in Oakville. Flavors of blackberry jam, dark plum and red boysenberry are at the core of this plush red and generous wine, accompanied by notes of toasted spice, vanilla and dark chocolate. The wonderful dark fruit flavors are layered with notes of dark espresso bean and menthol to the palate, along with attractive hints of cedar and spice.

VINTAGE

The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley will be remembered for a smooth, uneventful growing season and harvest that produced low yields of intensely flavored, small-sized grape clusters. The season started off with very little rain and continued as a dry, sunny summer led to a relatively cool fall with weeks of lovely weather. 2021 represented the second drought year in a row, and while concerning in the long term, the dry weather resulted in a more natural crop load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes were packed with flavor leading to powerful, concentrated wines.
