An initial blast of blue and black fruit leads to sweet
A similar but slightly riper and much spicier nose includes blue berry and plum nuances that precede the more obviously mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract
The palate is full-bodied and super concentrated yet possesses great energy with vibrant red and black fruits and loads of mineral accents
"This is a seductive and delicious California red
Shafer Hillside Select 2022 1.5L Rhone generously endowed"Beautifully done, with a non 2022 like level of freshness and purity, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select reveals blackcurrant, spice, flowers, subtle chocolate, and graphite that all develop nicely with time in the glass. It's medium to full bodied on the palate and has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This incredibly successful 2022 can be drunk any time over the coming two decades.
