Shafer Firebreak - 1999 (750ml) Size:750ml Fruity and marmalade-led sweetnessWhile others struggle to figure out Sangiovese, Shafer takes the lead to produce one of the most distinctive, noteworthy efforts in California. Tobacco, earth and cherry flavors, and a light, airy texture, mark the Sangiovese, whileCabernet Sauvignon adds currants and tannic structure. The result is complex, stylish and compelling.
