The 2006 Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon is a highly rated, full-bodied Napa Valley icon. Sourced from the Stags Leap District, it is noted for its dark fruit, chocolate, and graphite notes.
Grape Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: Lifted aromas of juicy black fruit, black tea, vanilla, cassis, and black cherry. It features a firm, polished structure with velvety, ripe tannins and a very long finish.
The 2006 Hillside Select has aged into its peak maturity. While it boasts a pedigree for very long-term aging, current consensus indicates that it is drinking beautifully right now and should be enjoyed over the next few years.
