The red wine Hillside Select, vintage 1996 from the winery Shafer Vineyards has been rated in 2017 by Peter Moser with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Central Coast in United States.
Dark ruby in colour with purple reflections, appears very youthful with a subtle watery rim. An immensely attractive bouquet on the nose with fine, dark berry confit, ripe cherry, a touch of liquorice and fresh orange zest. The textured palate, shows very good complexity with fine, supporting tannins, persistent and elegant with pleasant fruit that lingers for minutes, inspiring youthfulness. Great ageing potential. (Drink/+20).
