A wine named after John Shafer's first tractor, the TD-9. The wine has a deep ruby colour with purple highlights. On the nose the wine is intense with notes of dark cherry, blackberry and overripe raspberry, complemented by hints of spice, cedar and humidor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with aromas of ripe dark fruit, sweet spice and earthy notes of freshly ploughed arable land and forest undergrowth. The wine has firm tannins, juicy acidity and a very long, savoury finish.

A wine with a deep ruby colour. Dark fruit, cherry, plum, with notes of dark chocolate, pepper and spices predominate in the aroma and taste. The ripe, supple tannins together with attractive acidity and a silky finish create a really pleasing structure to this wine.
