Cran-grape-blackberry sensibility with dark roast coffee undertones, milk chocolate, carnation, caramel, dried parsley, carrot purée. Palate is coffee coated black currant, chicory, dried blackberry, bramble, cedar, tight and green oak notes, violet, baseball glove, tart cherry, tart raspberry and raspberry reduction. Rich offering here to satisfy the lofty spirit, but needs time to coalesce.
Pair with warm fires.

Pleasantly surprised. Heavy pineapple aromas. Lemon pith, Stone fruit, white flowers, and toasted almonds. Med-Firm acidity. #shafervineyards — 4 years ago

A bit ripe for my tastes, but when it is 5 degrees outside, a few extra points of alcohol are welcome. Dark cherry, plum, and mocha with integrated oak. Shafer is bold and this wine is no exception! #shafervineyards — 8 years ago
