Zinfandel has been made at Frog's Leap since their inception and they take enormous pleasure in opening bottles dating back 20 or even 30 years...and they are still glorious in their development. But let us be clear, we are talking about the Frog's Leap kind of Zinfandel! Frog’s Leap Zinfandel: balanced, restrained, nuanced, subtle, and almost always under 14% alcohol. If you are looking for a Zin to serve with wooly mammoth, or to put hair on your chest, you’ve come to the wrong place. Those styles are for lesser vineyards and less seasoned winemaking. To make Zinfandel in the highest form takes great attention to detail in the growing, a constant vigilance during harvest and great care in the cellar. The secret to Frog’s Leap Zinfandels (once you get past the 40 year old dry farmed, perfectly situated vineyards) is that at the same time they harvest the Zinfandel they also harvest plantings of Petite Sirah, Carignan, and Valdique and ferment them all in the same tank at the same time. This allows them to get the Zinfandel grapes fully ripe, full of sugar and flavour and then using the other less sweet varietals to add colour, flavour nuance while they reduce the overall alcohol content. Aged for 14 months in primarily American oak (very little new), the wine gains its strength through complexity and character rather than brute alcoholic strength. You will be tempted to drink this wine while it is in its youthful, delicious phase - and this is a temptation that you should give in to. However, as Frog's Leap have been asserting for four decades, their Zinfandels are crafted for the cellar, and have the natural acidity and moderate alcohols that will provide great reward for those with the patience to hold on to a few bottles.

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. TD-9 represents an evolution of Shafer Vineyards Merlot, which has been a cornerstone of their range for 30 years. The birth of TD-9 was an early morning conversation during the 2015 harvest when Doug Shafer and long-standing winemaker, Elias Fernandez, were discussing the Merlot and other fruit from a cluster of small Shafer vineyards just south of Stags Leap District. “You do realise that we could make a much better wine if we could make a red blend” suggested Elias – referring to the mix of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec fruit on the property. They slept on the idea and soon decided that if they could make a more profound wine, the way forward was clear. As anticipated, TD-9 was indeed finer and more complex than previously, whilst retaining the joyous, plush, generous fruit which characterised their varietal Merlot. 56% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Malbec from Stags Leap District, Yountville and a vineyard in the Vaca Mountains, just south of Stags Leap District.

For more than a decade this site has produced a consistently rich, elegant proprietary blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah. The soul of the wine, though, comes from its namesake, Shafer’s longtime winemaker, Elias Fernandez. Before the first vintage was bottled in 1999 and before the first label was printed, the Shafer family wanted this wine to honour Elias for the key attribute they believed put him in a class all of his own - his relentless pursuit of quality in winemaking. Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez originally conceived Relentless as a field blend, meaning that the vineyard site was planted to 80 percent Syrah and 20 percent Petite Sirah. Since then the two grape varieties were picked, crushed and fermented as one. For ten vintages the Shafer team produced the wine in this style winning over consumers and critics alike. The 2008 vintage was named Wine Spectator’s “Wine of the Year” in November, 2012. In the first vintages, the wine was dominated by the Petite Sirah’s blueberry, smoke and char aromas and flavours. But as years went by and the vines matured, it was the Syrah that began to take the lead position with it rich, meaty aromas and flavours in combination with more floral, perfumed characteristics. As with each of their wines the Shafer team kept asking if Relentless had reached its finest expression. With this pursuit in mind the decision was made to move away from the structure of a field blend toward an approach similar to Hillside Select® in which only the most compelling, refined fruit of the vintage determined the make-up of the wine.

Those Cabernet vines - now over sixty-five years old produced the first vintage of Ridge Monte Bello in 1962 and subsequent vintages until 1974. By then other abandoned blocks had been replanted and their fruit considered for use in the iconic Monte Bello. A number of these new plantings consistently produced a more accessible wine that developed its full complexity earlier, and so with the 2008 vintage the name of this stylistically distinct wine became the Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, stressing the principal varietal and the Monte Bello estate vineyard as its source. The 2019 vintage is a composition of Cabernet Sauvignon (88%), Merlot (11%) and Petit Verdot (1%). At assemblage, eighteen parcels were chosen for their alluring fruit and elegant tannins. After sixteen months of ageing, the oak has integrated and the wine has begun to soften. The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend is reflected in the purity of the cassis-and-cedar nose. The oak is perfectly judged, framing the fruit and adding some extra structure without dominating the wine.
