December 1, 2014 - Shafer Vineyards Wine Tasting and Visit (Napa Valley, CA): Nose was a bit unusual with a floral character from the 6% Malbec. Once the carmelized butter hits the nose, you know where this is going... a rich, toasty oak experience. The wine is fruit-forward with typical plum flavors in front, but the mid-palate catches you off-guard with a very bitter and sharp dark chocolate flavor that makes the wine difficult to drink. Also, you would expect a little more mouth-feel with a high-end Merlot, than this slightly watery texture. The wine's structure had high tannins and high acidity.

A bit disappointed, fortunately I accessed it with the Coravin......will wait to see what happens.
