You absolutely know what you are getting here

this may be the most under rated wine in the de Montille portfolio with its ripe

ripe acidity in orbit with the flesh

As good as the Chapelle is

so if you are waiting to pop your bottles

Shafer, Hillside Select Size:3x1.5L You absolutely know what you(15. 5% alcohol), Dark red with ruby tones. Musky aromas of mocha, coffee, leather, licorice, creosote and herbs. Juicy and intense but without the explosive fruit of the 2010; a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality. Doug Shafer noted that this fruit was picked at up to 26 degrees Brix, but I still find it a bit light. Finishes with chalky tannins
