- The Shafer family have been legends in California since 1972 when John Shafer left his job in publishing to open the winery. Today his son Doug runs the vineyard with as much passion as his father. The wines are typically Napa bold & powerful but they have fantastic control over the oak & fruit. The Merlot is one of the best in the region, is packed with plums, black cherry & fresh herbs & a lick of vanilla with plenty of punch on the mid palate. Try this with a rack of ribs or a heart
