Experience the essence of Napa Valley with the Shafer TD-9 Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that invites you to savor its rich heritage. This exceptional blend, primarily composed of Merlot along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, is a tribute to John Shafer's journey from the bustling streets of Chicago to the serene vineyards of Napa.
Character and Aroma
With fruit sourced from the renowned Stags Leap District, Yountville, and the foothills of the Vaca Mountains, the TD-9 showcases a captivating nose filled with seductive wild berries, black cherry jam, and delicate rose petal aromas.
Flavor Profile
On the palate, this wine reveals a generous full body complemented by smooth tannins and a rich core of dark fruit from the Merlot. The finish is long and elegant, with gentle hints of spice and woodsmoke, a result of its 20 months of aging in large French oak barrels.
Serving Suggestions
For the best experience, decant the wine for one hour before serving and consider cellaring it for up to 12 years to fully appreciate its evolving character.
Please drink responsibly.
