Shafer, Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select, 2013

“The 2013 vintage gave us smaller berries packed with an immensity of pure, opulent aromas and flavorus. This rich, polished hillside Cabernet Sauvignon overflows with briary black fruit, juicy black cherry, racy dried cranberry, black licorice, and freshly cracked pepper with elegant touches of cedar, baking spice, and wet stone. The finish is generous and persistent, while the tannins are ripe and integrated offering both a pleasurable experience now and the kind of structure that promises even more beauty with time.” Elias Fernandez, winemaker
