Hillside Select is a wine of a place, produced each vintage from carefully selected blocks of the hillside which are 100% Shafer Estate Vineyards, in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. The fruit for Hillside Select is sourced from a collection of 14 small vineyard blocks planted within an eons-old amphitheatre-like structure of rock and volcanic soil that surrounds the winery. Thanks to scant soil nutrients and moisture, yields at harvest are meagre and the berries are small. This Stags Leap District site's combination of rugged, arid soil and climate results in lush Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with dark colour and intense, classic flavour. Very deep purple-black in colour, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select leaps out of the glass with gregarious scents of crème de cassis, warm black cherries, plum preserves, Indian spices with hints of lilacs, garrigue, stewed tea, and cigar box plus a waft of charcuterie. Full-bodied, rich, boldly fruited, and wildly decadent, it has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and compelling freshness, finishing with loads of earthy and savoury layers.
Product of Napa Valley, California, USA.
ABV: 15.5%
Size: 750ml
