Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum 2014

Description Name: Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet SauvignonCountry: United StatesRegion: CaliforniaSub-Region: Stags Leap DistrictProducer: Shafer VineyardsSize: 1.5LVintage: 2014Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon From our Wine Director:"Shafer Hillside Select is perennially one of my personal favorite Napa Valley red wines - or, more accurately, one of my favorite red wines period. The 2014 vintage is somewhat precocious and drinking beautifully now and promises to de so for another 20 years in the bottle or 30 in the magnum. Black cherries and black currants on the nose and palate, with underlying tannins that are starting to soften and integrate in the wine. It is more hedonistic than some vintages of Hillside Select - and, in a world where some less compelling Napa Cabernets sell for $2,000 and more, this is a relative bargain."- Hoyt Wine Advocate: 98+ points Vinous: 97+ points
