 _{WS 87p:Intense and concentrated at its best, with a tightly wound band of}

earthy currant, anise, cedar and sage. Picks up a spice note and then mouthcoating tannins on the finish. A controversial wine because of bottle variation. Other samples were quite leathery. Best from 2008 through 2013.

 _{Parker 91p: The chunky, rustic 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses}

aggressive tannin in its big, corpulent personality. It should drink well for a decade. Shafer Vineyards, one of the most impeccably run wineries in the world, is a wonderful family operation that deserves all the success they have earned.

Reserve (11,000 cases of truly divine Cabernet nectar). For statisticians, 44% came

from the Steinhauer Vineyard, 1% from Bancroft Ranch, 17% from Rancho del Oso,

3% from Chabot, 13% from St. Helena Home Ranch, 0% from Quarry Vineyard, and

the balance from Marston Vineyard. As I reported last year, the 2001 is an

extraordinary effort. Large-scaled yet elegant, it boasts classic notes of creme de cassis,

chocolate, and smoky oak. With extraordinary voluptuousness, great concentration,

tremendous intensity, and a finish that lasts nearly 60 seconds, this saturated

purple-colored, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the greatest wines ever made at
