Tasting Panel
While the TD-9 refers to the tractor that transformed John Shafer's train-riding commuter life to one of vinous adventure, this elegant liquid is far frim mechanical. Aged for 20 months in French oak and at a seemingly high ABV of 15.3, this is a charming balancing act of Stags Leap-ian quality. Plush tannins are finely grained in this blend of 56$ Merlot 28 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 16 Malbec. Notes of lavender, mocha cappuccino, black raspberry, and saddle leather combine with an animal core-savory and dark, The finish is a hint of dark chocolate-covered orange peel.
