Crushed violets, dark cherry and cedar dust create an intriguing aromatic profile. The palate shows remarkable poise. Concentrated yet weightless, with fine-grained tannins that coat rather than grip. A departure from Shafer's usual power-driven style, emphasizing precision over opulence. The mineral-laced finish suggests excellent aging potential.
