Yes. Inexcusable offense of drinking a baby of this magnitude. Now that we’re past that. Every year I drink a bottle of this allocation right away with differing results. The 2016 is INCREDIBLE now! The fruit is accessible, there is tremendous balance, it is mouth coating, the tannins are great throughout, and it goes on forever. I decanted for 4 hours and sampled pop and pour then about hourly. I did not share with anyone. Don’t tell Melanie when you meet her

Soft tannin, chocolate color, blackberries, perfect with cheese.

3/6/9.25 out of 100 = 93.5 Tight nose - needs a much longer decant to do it justice. Palate was very enjoyable blackberry with light spice. Surprisingly smooth with a good long finish. 2016 vintage

Great, bold, heavily spiced Napa Cab. that stood out like the arrogant American tourist with the European elegance of the flight. Being American, it made me smile. Let it breathe, it settled down and showcased why it deserved a seat at the table. (I may have enjoyed listening to the gentleman across from me have to take back his initial thoughts)

Hard not to be seduced by this decadent beauty. Knocking on the door of perfection.

Had this wine for my birthday dinner at Ruth’s Chris. Amazing wine!! Deep garnet colored, floral nose with blueberry and oak. Perfectly ripe blue/dark fruit, tannins smoothing out, perfectly balanced and structured. This wine drank great through a 2 hour meal. I need to pick up some these ‘16s as they are drinking great now and will certainly age for a long time.

Absolute killer Shafer Hillside Select will rival the 2007 and 2012. Drinking beautifully now. 4+ hours of decanting did help. I like to trying a bottle young.
