A delicious fully integrated cab. Dark fruit with layers of flavor. Long finish. Part of the Sun valley experience.

A great drinking Napa cab. Definitely enough structure to last another 5+ years. It was a fantastic pairing with BBQ brisket 😊

Ruby-red. Black cherry, currants, tobacco with a long finish. Perfect accompaniment with my ribeye.

This wine is so much more balanced than the famed 2002. It has the most beautiful silky tannins the follow the huge red and blue fruits. Even after 16 years it still has that classic Shafer sugar cookie/brioche nose from their amazing barrels. It's hard to beat this Napa Cab
