Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Vintage Overview

2019 OVERVIEW

From its first swirl, Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 shows a poised, perfumed profile of cassis, ripe black raspberry and redcurrant layered with violets, mint, dark chocolate and subtle baking spice. The palate is powerful yet refined, with seamless richness, ultra-fine tannins and a long, focused finish that hints at savory herbs and cocoa, suggesting a particularly graceful, aromatic style for this legendary hillside Cabernet.

About Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon

Shafer’s Hillside Select is the iconic flagship Cabernet Sauvignon from Stags Leap District in Napa Valley, a 100% estate-grown wine drawn exclusively from select, steep hillside blocks on the Shafer property. Typically aged around 32 months in 100% new French oak, it’s known for its powerful yet polished style, with deep black fruit, chocolate and mineral complexity, supple but ageworthy tannins, and a long track record for extraordinary cellar longevity.
