2012 is excellent. Bordeaux style wine with chocolate and black cherry flavors and a smooth finish. Aged well! — 17 days ago

Very nice. Good fruit with soft tanins. This aged well, even though it is about 3 years past it’s prime. — 9 days ago
Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, espresso, cedar and sweet floral notes, aged in French oak. On the palate flavors of raspberry, strawberry and ripe black cherry with notes of cacao, vanilla and dried floral herbs. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cacao, spice and earthy mineral notes. Nice but need to wait a few years on this beauty. — 16 days ago
Maybe just past it’s prime, decanted for 2 hrs and showed well. Heavy cedar and pencil shavings. Blue and heavy dried black fruit. Very nice with Hunters Stew. — 11 days ago
Old wine is sacrilegious. This thirty-seven year old Napa Cab is opulently aromatic with the purest flavors of baked blueberry taking center stage; some dark chocolate and mocha as well. The power of the wine has been completely subdued to the integration of everything else. Tons of finesse and roundness on the pallet that lasts for about two minutes. A joule in my cellar and truly blessed to have enjoyed it amongst family. — a month ago

Shafer ‘Hillside Select’ Cabernet Sauvignon 1995: Balanced. Smooth. Vibrant. Full dark fruits, plum, tobacco, vanilla & oak. Long, distinguished finish. For me, this wine has aged extremely well and is still very luscious; the fruit still delivers, remaining full & soft, even after all these years. A 1995 Napa Cab doesn’t get much better than this. Amazing in every way! Cheers🍷 — 7 days ago
