The 2019 Red Blend TD-9 is a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, alluring notes of mocha, tapenade and truffles jump from the glass, backed up by a core of cassis and stewed plums. Full-bodied, juicy and plush in the mouth, it has a lively line and a wonderfully pure, fruity finish.

The 2019 TD-9 is silky, aromatic and perfumed. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit, spice and rose petal all show a move towards more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Forward and open-knit, the 2019 is an absolute pleasure to taste. Best of all, the 2019 will drink well right out of the gate.
As part of their planting & viticultural approach Shafer adopted a fully sustainable farming methodology that has become a role model for the Stag’s Leap Wine District.
Robert Parker Jnr, The World’s foremost authority on wine has this to say about Shafer...
..."One of Napa's most prominent and respected wineries, Shafer is a poster boy for remarkable and consistent quality across the board. All of this is the work of the brilliant father and son team of John and Doug Shafer as well as their longterm winemaker and vineyard manager, Elias Fernandez.
With over 200-plus acres of estate holdings, and 55 acres surrounding their winery in Stags Leap, this is a winery that never seems to disappoint."
