Shafer TD-9

In 2017, this remarkable wine was crafted. It's a unique blend consisting of 62% Merlot, 22% Malbec, and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon. The TD-9 is a special proprietary blend centered around Merlot. The name TD-9 comes from a tractor that John Shafer used in his vineyards back in 1973, a far - cry from his upbringing riding trains in Chicago.

To enjoy this Shafer TD - 9 red wine blend, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour by uncorking it and leaving it in an open bottle. This helps to bring out its rich flavors. Serve it at a temperature around 60 - 65°F (15 - 18°C). You can pair it with a variety of foods like grilled steak, lamb chops, or a rich pasta dish. Keep the wine stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. If you have any leftover wine, re - cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator, but try to consume it within 1 - 2 days for the best taste.
