What to Expect

Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Winemakers Notes

This Hillside Select is classic Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon from a justly celebrated Napa Valley vintage. Youthful and intense. Pure, wide-open, dark-fruit aromas seem to push out of the bottle. The movement from nose to mouth to supple tannin to lengthy finish is harmonious, offering a round, expansive, silky liquid feast of black cherry, rich plum, black fruit, cassis, and dark chocolate shot through with toasty vanilla, blueberry, and cedar. Strikes a balance between extract and elegance.

This is one of the most amazing Cabernets available. It bursts with flavor!! The wine has has real staying power - the flavor lasts for 90 seconds. Subtle flavors include currant, berry with a smooth glycerin finish.

One of the world's most extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignons is the 1,800-2,400-case offering of Shafer's Hillside Select. It was a treat to re-taste the utterly perfect 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select. A dark purple color is accompanied by a gorgeously powerful nose of pure creme de cassis, pain grille, flowers, licorice, and spice box. Full-bodied with multiple dimensions, superb purity, layers of fruit, and a blockbuster finish, it is an amazing offering. This wine should drink well young yet evolve for 2-3 decades. - The Wine Advocate

WS 95 (11/2005): A delicious Cabernet, perfectly ripened, with perfumed currant, cassis, plum and blackberry. Tight, persistent and concentrated, this is sharply focused and displays the kind of structure that bodes well for short to midrange cellaring. Impeccable balance with a long finish. Best from 2007 through 2014. 2,500 cases made.
