Hillside Select

Shafer's Hillside Select 2018 is a powerful and expressive expression of their Stags Leap District vineyard. It greets the senses with aromas of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and espresso, with hints of cedar and spice. The palate is opulent and full-bodied, featuring flavors of ripe plum, black currant, and baking spices. Fine-grained tannins and well-integrated oak provide structure and depth, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rich stews, or aged cheeses, exemplifying Shafer's dedication to crafting wines of exceptional depth, complexity, and elegance.
