The red wine Shafer Hillside Select, vintage 2018 from the winery Shafer Vineyards has been rated in 2022 by Peter Moser & Anne Krebiehl MW with 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Stags Leap District in United States.
Crushed plum and mocha have a hint of mint on the nose and immediately point to intense concentration. The palate then is a sumptuous swish of utterly concentrated but aromatic fruit, edged with freshness and revealing layers of smoke, blackberry, cocoa and mocha. Ripe tannins are firm but smooth and underlined by fine, mouth-watering acidity. A picture of sleek, smooth, bundled power. AK
