The Shafer Hillside Select 1999 is a Cabernet Sauvignon crafted from meticulously tended vineyards in the Stags Leap District. This vintage exhibits a deep, opaque purple hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, dried herbs and subtle earthiness emerge, complemented by notes of cedar and anise. The wine presents a firm structure, characterised by robust tannins and elevated acidity. This vintage reveals a cerebral character, likely to evolve over several years.
