Om vinen (producentens tekst, engelsk): 2022 Growing Season The long, sunny 2022 summer created a beautiful growing season. The fruit developed rich color and clean, elegant, and pure aromas and flavors. Om vinen (producentens tekst, engelsk): Winemaker’s Comments “2022 TD-9 fills the glass with aromas and flavors of ripe red plum, lush violet, red and black cherry, rhubarb, and graphite. Balancing opulence and vibrancy, the wine offers vivid tension, and is com- pleted by bright acidity and on-point tannins. This vintage will offer evolving and ever more delicate enjoyment with time.” — Elias Fernandez, Shafer Vineyards Winemaker
