About the Shafer Relentless 2019
Shafer Relentless 2019 is a bold, complex, and deeply concentrated red blend that pours a dark purple-black color. The bouquet opens with an enticing, savory range of aromas including grilled meat, black pepper, roasted almonds, baked earth, and wild sage. On the palate, it is mouth-filling and rich, delivering intense flavors of blackberry, blueberry, black tea, and wet stone. This full-bodied blockbuster balances its powerful structure and plush, velvety tannins with a lively undercurrent of acidity, culminating in a remarkably long, polished finish.
Food Pairing: Roasted rack of lamb, prime rib, venison steak, braised beef cheeks in a rich red wine reduction, or strong, savory cheeses.
This powerful, rough-hewn wine that contains 11% Petite Sirah holds extremely deep black and blue fruits in a framework of grippy tannins. A tight, reserved expression on the midpalate signals more aging is needed for best enjoyment. The wine’s ripe, compelling, late-harvest fruits match the massive structure. Best from 2028– 2040
James Suckling
Rich and deep dark-fruited character with hints of roast bacon, chocolate and grilled herbs. Full-bodied with a broad, structured palate that has a deep core of dark berry fruit, and an array of plush, velvety tannins that lasts for minutes, leading to a polished, slightly chewy finish.
The 2019 Relentless is a blend of 89% Syrah and 11% Petite Sirah that spent 30 months in 100% new French oak. The nose is a bit briary, with intriguing herbal complexities from the Syrah, vibrant purple-raspberry fruit and perhaps some blueberry fruit from the Petite Sirah. This is full-bodied, tannic, sturdy stuff that needs time to come around, but as it's packed with fruit, that shouldn't be an issue. Patience will be required.
Potent yet polished, with deeply structured flavors of black cherry, smoked pepper and dried sage that build tension toward medium-grained tannins. Syrah and Petite Sirah. Drink now through 2030. 3,300 cases made.
