Shafer Hillside Select 1993

Founded in 1972 in the famed Stags Leap District of the Napa Valley, Shafer Vineyards has for several decades been at the forefront of exceptional Californian wine production. Hillside Select is produced from a collection of 14 rugged vineyard blocks planted on an amphitheatre-shaped piece of land that surrounds the winery. It is their flagship wine and is consistently one of the finest 100% Cabernet Sauvignons in the region. The 1993 is a classy release with signature richness of fruit and deep savoury complexity. Whilst perhaps not attaining the lofty heights of the ‘91 or ’92, this is a superb mature example of high-quality Napa Cabernet.
