“Flanagan Wines was born out of my love for wine. I visited wine growing regions around the world from New Zealand to Greece and I was fascinated by how the same grape variety produced different wines in different locations. This led to an interest in great vineyard sites and a focus on the soils and the climate that made each unique. In 1999 I chose to act on my interest by purchasing 40 acres on the heights of Bennett Mountain and planting our first vineyard. I now produce wines from several of the most highly regarded vineyard sites in Sonoma County. Flanagan Wines is becoming known for making great wines from the best vineyards in Sonoma County.”

The nose shows notes of Rangpur lime, jasmine, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate the wine has Bosc pear and toasted almond. The wine has bright acidity and an elegant minerality.

Wine-Flanagan Pinot Noir, Sonoma
The 2018 Flanagan Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast offers an expressive nose of rose petals and orange blossom. On the palate the wine has very fine tannins, great acidity, and displays flavors of red plum skin and Rainier cherry.

Wine-Flanagan Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma

“Balance is the key to our Cabernet. Mountain fruit with great structure and concentration is the foundation of our wine. The Cabernet is beautifully delineated and has great aromatics. It is a harmonious intersection of site driven fruit, the finest new French oak, and classic winemaking.”
