Drank just 2 hours after bought at Shafer Vineyards. Consumed at Scala Osteria $ Bar which a short decant.
The wine is bold, perfumed, long legs, linear for now and no too expressive but pleasant, fair finish and everything will come together with 2-5 years of bottle age.

Heavy tannins, Dark fruit, full bodied, some earthiness, cherries, vanilla, a little alcohol burn. Still very good leave in the cellar for another 6-7 years.

Huge nose of super ripe black cherries, loads of vanilla, confiture de fraises... Huge concentration of black and red ripe cherries, lacking a bit of freshness and minerality, lenght of 45 sec, fruit bomb!!
