The clean, ethereal bouquet then highlights Sangiovese’s spicy notes. On the palate we again find very wellintegrated oak which, however, soon gives way to hints of wild berry fruit preserve and to that nuance of spices we perceived on the nose. - Winery

June and July were above average in temperature which allowed veraison to progress from late July into August. Harvest was unseasonably cool,...

Notes: TD-9 is a proprietary blend that celebrates a bold move. In 1973, in the space of a few months, John Shafer went from riding morning commuter trains in Chicago to teaching himself to drive a TD-9 tractor in our Napa Valley vineyard.
