Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a powerful yet poised Stags Leap Cabernet, packed with dense black cherry, cassis and blackberry layered with dark chocolate, espresso, dried violet and a subtle graphite edge. The palate is full-bodied and deeply concentrated, but lifted by vivid acidity and wrapped in ultra-fine, structured tannins that promise decades of evolution. Long, focused and precise, this vintage emphasizes purity and tension over sheer opulence.
