2002 Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, USA
The Hillside Select Story
Hillside Select is sourced from a collection of 14 small vineyard blocks planted within an eons-old amphitheater-like structure of rock and volcanic soil that surrounds the winery. Thanks to scant soil nutrients and moisture, yields at harvest are meager and the berries are small, about the size of blueberries. This Stags Leap District site’s combination of rugged, arid soil and climate results in lush Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with dark color and intense, classic flavor.
Shafer Vineyards Hillside is a wine produced by Shafer Vineyards, a premium winery located in the Stags Leap District of the Napa Valley in California. The Hillside is a flagship wine of the winery, made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot grapes. These grapes are grown on the steep hillsides of the vineyards, which are composed of volcanic rock and provide excellent drainage for the vines. The resulting wine is rich and complex, with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and vanilla, and flavors of dark fruit, spice, and oak. The Hillside is a highly-rated wine that has received numerous awards and accolades from wine critics and connoisseurs.
