Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Shafer Winemaker Elias Fernandez & his “relentless” pursuit of quality. A blend of 76% Syrah & 24% Petite Sirah, shows a lush & rich wine. Aged for 30 months, 100% new French oak, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit, smoke and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum & blueberry with notes of vanilla, licorice and smoke. Fine silky tannins, long finish, great mouthfeel ending with fruit, herbs and spice. One of the best Syrah’s tasted. Will age well!

Great wine for the price, but could use a few more years

Big powerful wine! Needs a good long decant (which I didn’t do). Blackberry, blueberry compote, black licorice, oak, earthy. Nice finish and great mouthfeel. I’m sure my rating will increase with some age on these.
