This wine honors long-time Shafer Winemaker Elias Fernandez and his relentless pursuit of quality. Sourced from ridgetop vineyards adjacent to the southern border of Stags Leap District, the grapes for Relentless are a proprietary blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah.
The result is a bold, powerful Californian red blend with remarkable depth. Dark berries, black pepper, and a hint of smoked meat dominate the nose, while the palate is rich with blackberry, plum, and a touch of cocoa. The tannins are firm yet refined, leading to a long, savory finish. An absolute treat for lovers of robust, full-bodied reds. It is drinking beautifully now, showcasing its bold fruit and complex layers, but it also has excellent aging potential. With its sturdy structure and well-integrated tannins, this wine can be cellared for another 10-15 years.
Pair it with grilled lamb chops seasoned with rosemary and garlic or aroasted vegetable lasagna.
“Shafer are best known for their stunning Cabernet Sauvignon, but this wines shows the breadth of their skillful winemaking. It’s a wine to celebrate life’s greatest moments. Indulgent, without going overboard.”
