Shafer Vineyards Cabernet Hillside Select
Vintage: | 1997 |
---|---|
Description: | "The 1997 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is a relatively evolved style for Hillside Select and seemingly more advanced than the older vintages, such as 1995 and 1994. Nevertheless, there is plenty to excite. Its a big wine, dense purple in color with some lightening at the edge, plenty of crme de cassis fruit, lead pencil shavings, sweet vanilla and earth. It is very ripe, full-bodied, opulent and voluptuously textured. This is terrific stuff, hedonistic, showing secondary/tertiary nuances in the aromatics and essentially a full resolution of the tannin. This wine also seems to have come into its own and is clearly at its peak of flavor. Drink it over the next 10-15 years." - Robert Parker, eRobertParker.com #216 (Dec 29, 2014) |
