Another amazing red! Soft, yet it just keeps kicking. Last time I had one like this it was over $100. It was the Shafer Reserve Cab. 2010.

Notes of tobacco leaf, blueberries, spice box, fresh roasted coffee beans and vanilla. Medium to medium-plus acidity and medium tannins. Plenty of time left to age, but very drinkable today.

Great cab that starts subtle with light fruits like blackberry and raspberry but finishes with bold oak flavor.
