Great wine. Delicious on the front and back. New world style, a little stronger than an old world Spanish wine. Loved it at Casa Mono-NYC! — 10 years ago

New project of Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez. Beautiful Malbec - full body, lots of character, still young, probably needs more time, but definitely age worthy! Coffee beans, mocha, milk chocolate covered cherry, vanilla, sandalwood. Layers of complexity! Needs time to open up. Velvety finish. — 10 years ago

In 1979 John Shafer founded Shafer Vineyards in the Stags Leap District of Napa. A blend of 97% Syrah & 3% Petite Sirah, notably small PS% which varies each year. The work of Elias Fernandez, fruit from La Mesa Vineyard, a ridgetop of shallow soils & volcanic ash. Stunning red with full black fruit aromas and pepper spice with floral edge. On the palate blackberry flavors, spice, oak and earthy notes. Big fine tannins, vivid acidity, good balance on lingering finish ending with cacao tones. Will cellar well. — 8 years ago

Brand new wine from Isaac Fernandez. Tempranillo from Tudela del Duero with only 6 months in oak. Straight off the container and into my glass. Super juicy red cherry and chalky mineral notes. Crisp and fresh on the palate. YUM! — 11 years ago
