a touch of patisserie

or pop a cork if you prefer more of a classic

its a thrill ride of a drink today

dishing out lovely ripe and intense blackberry

with suave vanilla

Shafer, Hillside Select other_regions a touch of patisserie(15. 5% alcohol), Dark red with ruby tones. Musky aromas of mocha, coffee, leather, licorice, creosote and herbs. Juicy and intense but without the explosive fruit of the 2010; a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality. Doug Shafer noted that this fruit was picked at up to 26 degrees Brix, but I still find it a bit light. Finishes with chalky tannins
