Sipping Fine Wine
John Shafer founded Shafer Vineyards, located in the Stags Leap District of the Napa Valley, in 1979. A blend of 89% Syrah & 11% Petite Sirah. Deep vibrant red with full black fruit aromas and smoky pepper spice. On the palate big blackberry flavors with rustic spice, oak and earthy notes. Big backbone fine tannins generous acidity, good balance on lingering finish. A powerhouse that will cellar well.

Massive but balanced. Awesome nose that goes on forever. Big fruit initially, turning smokey, and ended the 3rd night with lavender and tea. I need more.

2014 & 2015 head to head. What a treat!!! Really hard to pick the winner. Both are showing beautifully. I’d give the slightest of edges to the 2015. Cheers!!

Dark fruits, bacon fat, grippy tannins. Popped a few hours ago and see this changing through the day
