- Bucko - 05-01-2008 2005 Shafer, One Point Five, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, $70, 9,500 cases. The nose is complex and inviting – blackberries, violets, dusty earth and cedar. Impeccably balanced, with firm but silky tannins, the flavors are full and engaging. There is a little heat from the 14.9 percent alcohol, but the wine carries it well at this point; 91/91. - winoweenie - 05-01-2008 The memory's the 2nd thing to go Buck-snort. Methinks youse posted on this lovely several months ago.(hehehehe).

I'd cellar for a few years for sure. - TheEngineer - 05-07-2008 Many thanks Bucko! |
