Palate inky berries and fruit, red fruit caresses with a massive finish that goes on for minutes need it five hour decant to show its expression. The wine was wonderful with a dinner of Oso Buco, With polenta. |

1/13/2024 - Scottlmatthews Likes this wine: 96 pointsFirst wine we had in 2024. Nose of herbal mint, crushed red berries of strawberry and fox berry. Loamy tilled soil leads to mouthwatering palate of ripe strawberries and black pepper. Minerals and herbs lead to a balanced tannic and spicy finish.

2013 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside SelectStags Leap District more |
9/23/2023 - Scottlmatthews Likes this wine: 93 pointsThe nose is predominantly grape fruit-reserved and not expected. Has a purple popsicles smell, with herbs (thyme ) and violet flowers. The palate is minuscule fruit, acid with soft tannins. Decanted for three hours. This wine is in a dumb phase, and does not live up to it’s 98+ points Wine advocate rating. Hold off drinking my other ‘13 for another 5 years.

12/21/2019 - Scottlmatthews Likes this wine: 98 pointsDecanted for 2.5 hours-bright nose of red berries and crushed stone fruits. Roses and floral notes prevail on a balanced wine. The palate follows on a tannic platform the lasts forever. Had with duck breast and fall veggies- a great wine that deserves respect for it’s 20 years in the bottle. Drank over 2 hours. Wow

2012 Force Majeure Syrah Force Majeure Vineyard Red Mountainmore |
2/5/2019 - Scottlmatthews Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery good, but not as balanced as different years-2014. Nose is dirty like a good northern Rhône with many promisingly variable but the palate of crushed blackberries is not multidimensional as the nose. Tannins are there with too high acid, but finish not as long as you would think

5/3/2014 - Scottlmatthews Likes this wine: 93 pointsNose of green pepper and forest floor of loamy soil. Brick brown color with full body legs of high alcohol.Palate of crushed current, black cherry, subtle anise. Long finish that is velvety and distinct with light black tea tannins. Decanted two hours before-a requirement. Can go for another 3 years of bottle age when the fruit will diminish.

9/16/2012 - Ecbatana wrote: 92 pointsWow, what a bouquet! After two-hour decant: Creme Brulee, vanilla, caramel apple. Like eating English toffee. Didn't find same delight on the palate. Light and somewhat lethargic. Some red fruits and tart cherries at first. Update: After 3+ hours this wine came together nicely. Didn't result in the lushness that I was hoping for but still provided more substance and weight than at first. Fact is that this needs more time in bottle which is true of most better made 2008's from WA state.
