A group of guys decided to meet up at our Wine Storage facility and bust out some unique bottles! Scores and notes to follow!

The best of the 3 Petite Sirahs opened tonight. The fruit on this '09 was absurd. This is a Shafer project, and when their Relentless dwindled in Petite sirah make up, it became this. This is a big medley of blue and black fruits, licorice, sweet tarts and vanilla. Best petite sirah to date easily. Thanks Bill!

Jammy, dark fruits. Tannins turn a bit harsh on the end. I'd wait to see if they soften. Will try again tomorrow.

Quite nice. Usual dark berry fruit, nice vanilla and a little leather.

Dark inky purple wine that covers your wine glass, teeth, and palate. Absolutely delicious fruit forward wine that is a bit heavy in tannins but can soften up with age and air in a decanter. Another Shafer Special that has Elias Fernandez's finger prints all over it

Really beautiful. Dark, powerful and a very long finish. A little heat initially but subsided. I'm gunna wait a year or two on my last bottle
