...Dusty aromas of black cherry, currant, licorice and menthol. Sweet, lush and velvety; fat and full. A generous, fruit-driven, impressively long wine with enticing currant and black plum flavors. Very ripe tannins coat the palate... Stephen Tanzer's IWC. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 1996 Shafer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select 750ml


Winemaker's Notes:

With more herbs, cedar and tea than its ’97 sibling, this one is embracing age. Ripe aromatics and big, balanced fruit flavors. Deep color in the center of the glass with brick at the edge, silky texture and maturing fruit, showing elements of black currant and dark spice with a long finish.
