Shafer Relentless, Napa Valley 2021 En Primeur - Case of 6
Relentless remains something of an insider's secret, a passion project of winemaker Elias Fernandez, who uses fruit from the estate's ridgetop and foothill vineyards on the southern border of Stag's Leap. 97% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah this time, raised in new French barriques for 28 months, this really leans into the stylishly cool 2021 vintage and thus brings to mind the character of the Northern Rhône greats: highly defined, deeply perfumed notes of blackberry, rare meat, white pepper, savoury spices, kirsch, plum and chocolate. Velvety and full but with also in part racy and tense, wonderfully pure and incredibly long. Big scores out there for this. 2-9 years

About En Primeur
Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines
Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
