Note di degustazione
One of the finest Firebreaks tasted is the 1997. Dark ruby-colored, with sumptuous aromas of black cherries, new saddle leather, dried herbs, licorice, and strawberry jam, this rich, medium-bodied, fruit-driven wine possesses uncanny elegance and complexity for a California Sangiovese. Displaying beautiful harmony, and hitting all the palate's sweet spots, it will drink well for 5-7 years. (release date 2/00) Tel. (707) 944-2877; fax (707) 944-9454

Informazioni sul produttore
The site of Shafer has been around since 1880, and grapes continued to be grown here, even during prohibition. It is said that some wine was made here during that time. In 1972, John Shafer bought the property in the Stag’s Leap district, he immediately began planting the Cabernet on the hillside.
