Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - Winorama with a surprise (engagement)!; 9/15/2013-9/18/2013 (Napa Valley California): Smaller production (for Shafer) of 3,400 cases. This wine is a bit non-traditional with a dual-planting of syrah and petit syrah which are harvested, fermented, and barreled together. Wine lacked the typical peppery taste of a syrah. Instead I got olives, some cedar, maybe a hint of really tight black currents (but maybe I was imagining some fruit?). A muted and tight wine, but another Sept 1st release so may also just need some time.
