Shafer Merlot 2011 is a Merlot-dominant red wine from the Stags Leap District AVA of Napa Valley. Sourced entirely from Shafer`s hillside estate vineyards, the blend incorporates Cabernet Franc to aid structural elegance. The wine reflects the producer`s commitment to concentration and polish via a generous new French oak regime. This wine offers concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum, mocha and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and robust, showcasing powerful structure and firm, integrated tannins. Available here in magnum format.
