Shafer Vineyard Hillside Select Magnum 2011 is a monumental Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley’s Shafer Vineyards, sourced from the rugged Stags Leap District. The 2011 vintage, known for its cool climate and long ripening season, yields a wine with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, layered with notes of graphite, spice, and earthy minerality. The palate is rich and concentrated, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity that frame the fruit core. Subtle hints of mocha, leather, and cedar add depth, while the finish is long and powerful, with exceptional aging potential. Shafer’s artisanal winemaking, including hand-harvesting and extended French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and elegance. Ideal for pairing with grilled steak or aged cheeses, this magnum format is a collector’s treasure, perfect for special occasions and reflecting the iconic terroir of Stags Leap District.
