Hillside Select Story
For decades Hillside Select has been Shafer’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that is the ultimate culmination of a world-class estate and legendary winemaking. The revered critic Robert Parker called Hillside Select, “… one of the New World’s most profound Cabernets.” Each vintage of Hillside Select originates from a collection of small vineyard blocks planted on our rugged, amphitheater-like estate of bedrock and volcanic soil. This property’s rare combination of climate and site results in gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, which transforms into a deeply-colored wine with complex aromas and flavors that vintage after vintage are rich, elegant, and exquisitely balanced. Hillside Select’s lineage goes back to Shafer’s first wine, the 1978 Cabernet Sauvignon. By 1983, knowing it was something special we called it Hillside Select.
