2009 Shafer 1.5

[TheEngineer]

After a few off bottles, tonight, no #!$!# around. I wanna good bottle. So after nearly pulling many of my go to favs, I stopped here and pulled this out. I guess I wanted a young wine.

I was impressed. Deep ripe fruit with a great backbone still. This is a large scale wine. Sweet, ripe fruit, good balance still, perhaps a touch closed today but still showing well! I wanted a rocking CA cab and I think I pulled one out.
