Shafer TD9

94 Points - Jeb Dunnick

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. He’d never grown grapes or made wine in his life. That spirit of risk-taking and adventure still guides Shafer today and inspired the creation of this new wine.

Varietal Composition: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot
