Shafer Vineyards is a top-tier winery in the Stags Leap District, renowned for its highly regarded and consistently exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings. The Hillside Select is Shafer`s flagship wine, sourced from sunny, rugged hillside vineyard blocks which result in particularly intense fruit. The 2018 vintage in Napa Valley was marked by a long, cool growing season, providing optimal conditions for the grapes to develop complex flavours and tannins. This weather pattern was ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing for slow, even ripening and exceptional quality.
