Shafer Hillside Select 2016, crafted by Shafer Vineyards in Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District, is a benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon renowned for its power and elegance. This wine boasts a deep, inky hue and a bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and violets, with notes of graphite, spice, and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers a rich yet refined profile, with concentrated fruit, velvety tannins, and a vibrant acidity that ensures balance. The finish is long and complex, with hints of dark chocolate and minerality. Sourced from the estate’s hillside vineyards, the grapes are hand-harvested and aged in 100% new French oak to enhance complexity. Perfect for pairing with grilled steak or roasted lamb, Shafer Hillside Select 2016, offered in bond as a case of six, is a collector’s gem with exceptional aging potential, embodying Napa’s finest winemaking tradition.
