Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 2, 2011 - Today is the "Bin Laden day" and I decided to drink my best US made wine. My choice was the 2002 Shafer which was rated 100 by Parker and it didn't disappoint!
Amazing concentration, minerality and balance! It expresses Napa at it's best - 100% Cabernet and there is not a flaw in this wine and it drinks very well at this point. Sorry that I'm feeling so patriotic today (even though I'm not a US citizen) but the US has much to be proud of - including this wine! The closest wine that comes to mind is the 2001 Le Pin which is one of my all time favorites. This comparison can be argued, but both are a perfect expression of fruit forward terroir oriented wines. Anyway, it's a great day and I'm enjoying this wine.
