Smooth red blend, with notes of black licorice, black pepper and slight oak flavor — 4 years ago
Great table Malbec with pizza! — 5 years ago
A Bordeaux blend. Spends 22 months in 70% new 400 liter oak barrels. Nose of fragrant floral fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum. Licorice, anise, dark chocolate and fresh, dark florals. The fruits are ripe and fresh and match the nose. Black licorice, tarry notes, loamy soils, moist dark soil, lead pencil, cedar, tobacco, underbrush, great acidity and a beautiful long finish. The structure is better as is the tension and length. This bottle needs 8-10 years in bottle for a higher score but for many hard not to dry young. Photos of the view from the Long Shadows patio, another one of the glass blown floor lamps and a concrete fermentation egg...interestingly in an inverted shape I hadn't seen before, no real difference in effect. — 7 years ago
Great Syrah, red fruit, lots of pepperiness of the long finish. Went well with BBQ ribs. — 8 years ago

Drinking beautifully right now. Dark and decadent fruit with a velvet mouthfeel and elegant finish. Hell yes! More please... — 4 years ago
We had the 2013 Vintage on 2/21-22/20. Bright red fruit on the bouquet. Tart cherry, strawberry and pomegranate on the palate. Bright and acidic. Good but not great. — 4 years ago
As far Cali Pinot goes, this was very serviceable and after 9 years of aging - certainly built well. Decent value, iirc, at 22$ via Costco. Acid is still vibrant and tannin/fruit was melding for a polished exit. — 5 years ago
Refreshing, with a hint of boldness- nothing left to be desired — 7 years ago
Nose is aromatic with orange blossom and a slight hint of tomato leaf. Not quite as briny as Albariño but crisp and refreshing — 8 years ago

Very nice blend. Probably worth the money. Not a super bargain though. — 10 years ago
Beautifully aromatic showing blueberries so I though it might have a fair amount of Malbec. Texture is supple yet there is a bit of a grip. A little astringent. A nice sipping wine and pairs nicely with our rib eye too! TD-9 is named for the tractor John Shafer drive in the vineyards. May he rest In peace.

Drank with Colin and Perrin on their deck during a virtual wine tasting. I absolutely loved this wine, my main takeaway is that the flavor and texture would suit everyone. It’s so so good — 4 years ago
