It is quintessentially Stags Leap, with grapes grown on Shafer's famous Hillside estate vineyard, roughly 25ha, with very shallow volcanic tufa soils. It's a barrel selection of the very best blocks. A total of 2,900 cases were produced. The 2021 releases mark Elias Fernandez's 38th vintage as Shafer's winemaker. He was hired by John Shafer in 1984, two weeks out of UC Davis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"mso-element: para-border-div; border: solid #E4E9EC 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: solid #E4E9EC .75pt; padding: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pipprodproreviewsitem\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; vertical-align: baseline; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid #E4E9EC .75pt; padding: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in .25in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; color: #292b2d;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipprodproreviewsrating\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.5pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: #202A44;\"\u003e99\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipprodproreviewsname\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #292b2d; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;\"\u003eVinous\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #292b2d;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"mso-element: para-border-div; border: solid #E4E9EC 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: solid #E4E9EC .75pt; padding: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pipprodproreviewsitem\" style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid #E4E9EC .75pt; padding: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'inherit',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #292b2d;\"\u003eThe 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is insanely beautiful. It's also one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted here. Bright, pliant and resonant, the 2021 offers a beguiling mix of Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics, generous fruit and gentle structure. The stylistic shift at Shafer has been remarkable—the 2021 is a great example. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, menthol, pine and sweet spice build into the eternal finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"mso-element: para-border-div; border: solid #E4E9EC 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: solid #E4E9EC .75pt; padding: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pipprodproreviewsitem\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; vertical-align: baseline; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid #E4E9EC .75pt; padding: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt 11.0pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in .25in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; color: #292b2d;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipprodproreviewsrating\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.5pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: #202A44;\"\u003e99\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipprodproreviewsname\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #292b2d; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #292b2d;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in 0in .5in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'inherit',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #292b2d;\"\u003eAll Cabernet Sauvignon from specific hillside blocks on the estate, Shafer's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select spent 28 months in 100% new French oak. It's a big, ripe wine, weighing in at 15.5% alcohol, but it remains harmonious from front to back. Deep, intense aromas of black cherries and cassis are accented by dried spices on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich and textural, showing tremendous intensity and length on the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liquide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42571551637547,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/0883\/3579\/files\/shafer2021hs.jpg?v=1765735432","url":"https:\/\/liquide.store\/products\/shafer-vineyards-hillside-select-napa-valley-2021","provider":"Liquide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
