First impression on the nose is slightly alcoholic with a tinge of copper pennies. But that first sip... it's an amalgamtion of lush overripe blackberries and plums with a hint of espresso. The earthy essence of the wine dances across the tongue leaving a pleasant black cherry and tobacco aroma — 9 years ago

Tannic wine that has a smooth finish. Underwhelming taste quickly flees the pallette. — 8 years ago

So smooth and well balanced. Ripe berries and luscious mouth feel. If only the taste would linger longer on the palette. Otherwise, fantastic wine! — 9 years ago

I was on a time crunch but a little too tight for me. Strong French oak flavor, silky smooth, and well rounded finish. Overall a great Cabernet but not what I was expecting from a Shafer. — 9 years ago

The 2 things in this world that made me a dad are finally asleep, so I can't think of a better way to close out Father's Day with my wife than a fantastic cab and Game of Thrones. #gameofrhones — 9 years ago
