Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nAromatic feast of summer berries, rose petal, rhubarb, raspberry, and black cherry jam. In the mouth this racy red blend is all juicy, briary red and black berry fruit that\u2019s spicy and energetic with a structure of ripe tannins and a long, plush finish.\r\nThe Shafer TD-9 Story\r\nTD-9 is an adventurous red blend that celebrates a bold move. In 1973 John Shafer went from taking morning commuter trains in Chicago to teaching himself to drive an old TD-9 tractor in our Napa Valley vineyard. He\u2019d never grown grapes or made wine in his life. That spirit of risk-taking and adventure continues to inspire everything we do at Shafer Vineyards today. TD-9 is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec \u2013 we hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we love making it.\r\nAbout Shafer Winery\r\nShafer Vineyards in Napa Valley, California, is an iconic family-owned winery, named one of the top 25 vineyards in the world by wine publication\u00a0Wine & Spirits\u00a0and \u201cone of the world\u2019s greatest wineries\u201d by wine critic Robert M.
