Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
SHAFER ONE |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Attractive, slightly spicy, very intense, fairly cedary, plummy, ripe red and black cherry nose with some sandalwood mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, harmonious, intense, rich, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, fairly high acid finish. This truly great Napa red has 15.3% alcohol and is a new blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 1% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 100% new French oak. This is the best wine in the entire release. The recommended 2013 (***/***+) with 96-points was released on November 26, 2016 at $139.95. |

TASTING NOTE: This powerful, savory bottling named for the two generations behind the family winery opens with toasted barrel and meat aromas before expanding on the nose and palate with additional black pepper and soy components. The fruit is distinctly spicy-a mix of blackberry, clove and cinnamon. Score - 94 (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, Aug. 1, 2017) |
