The flagship of the Shafer winery. Wine from the top vineyards of Shafer Winery. The wine has a deep ruby colour. On the nose the wine is intense with dominant notes of dark berry fruit, spice and graphite. On the palate, the wine is structured with expressive notes of mulberries, blackberries and cassis complemented by notes of freshly cut pencil, forest floor and cedar. The wine has firm, ripe tannins, tangy expressive acidity and a very long and spicy finish. A wine that can age very well in bottle.
