  Full bodied, black fruits, well hidden american oak, young and tannic but with some elegance. Hold 5+ years maybe even 10+.

  Deep garnet color. Black cherry, black currants, and chocolate in the nose with hints of floral. Blackberries, black cherries and plums in the flavor with notes of espresso and herbalness. Full bodied, well balanced and medium to long smooth finish.

  Deep, dark garnet in color, slightly opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, spices, herbs, mint, tobacco, cocoa/coffee, minerals & a slight hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, cocoa, minerals & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & extended airing but it has the structure to develop further with additional aging. An indicative blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 8% Malbec & 4% Petit Verdot. A wonderful addition to the Shafer lineup.

  Pulled the cork and poured. A very approachable wine…can enjoy by itself, or with food.

  Really great wine, takes 90+ mins to really open but notes of cherry and chalky minerality. Great depth to the wine, moderate length and medium acidity. Still has some heat and would likely do well with 2-3 years to integrate, maybe even longer…will wait to open the next bottles!
