Friday, February 7, 2014 - PnP and it was delicious. Bright red and black fruits on the nose with a smooth, lingering texture and mouthfeel. Looooooong finish leaving you wanting for more.

These are special wines from Shafer and should be enjoyed at multiple stages of their lifetime. Given the quality and breadth of their lineup Shafer should be in the discussion as one of the top producers in California if not the world!

    Being a big Rhone fan, Relentless is always in the running for the best of the vintage year in and year out in California. We agree, Shafer should be on the list for the pinnacle of winemaking in the US.
