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.
