9/20/2014 - bhalljr wrote: 95 pointsHad this with a '98 Lafite, 08 Shafer Relentless, and '94 Dow. Great bottle and nice floral nose, however, the Group unanimously picked the '98 Lafite. I'd be happy drinking this bottle any day of the week. Glad I still have 3 bottles remaining. |

9/10/2014 - bhalljr Likes this wine: 98 pointsHad this with a '98 L'Eglise Clinet, 08 Shafer Relentless, and '94 Dow. Amazing bottle that as it began to warm and open up showed the classic cedar and violet nose. This just might be the second best bottle of wine I've had to date. Still have one more! |

1999 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside SelectStags Leap District more |
2/2/2013 - bhalljr wrote: 92 pointsHad this along with an '08 Cos d'Estournel. Both were slow oxed for a little over two hours and drunk over three hours. The Shafer had a great nose at first but noticeable heat on the back palate. Towards the end do the evening and wine, the Cos pulled away with the typical Bordeaux nose and soft, silky finish. A couple of my other buddies agreed the Cos started out slow but pulled away in the end. |

9/29/2012 - bhalljr wrote: 94 pointsI was surprised at how light and smooth drinking this wine was to be only 4 years old. My buddy, who likes Napa Cabs, mentioned he wondered how much he would like this in 10 years thinking there might not be enough fruit for his palate. I really liked this and would like to put it up to some other Napa Cabs and Bordeaux too. |

1986 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Cuvéemore |
6/30/2011 - bhalljr wrote: 90 pointsNice nose...somewhat Bordeaux-like with tobacco and earth smells. The wine was drying out on the back palate but still fine to drink. Had this along with a '97 Marcassin, '75 Latour, and '99 Hartwell at Seagars in Destin with wife and friends. The Latour was in a whole other world. It well out classed the competition and proved great bordeauxs can age well. |

6/18/2011 - bhalljr wrote: 96 pointsMy first full tasting of the Hillside Select other than that from the winery. Amazing nose and reminded me of the '99 Hartwell I had a couple of weeks earlier yet so much more depth and complexity than the Hartwell. I definitely understand now the rave reviews and consistency associated with the Hillside Select. Definitely plan to stock up on this wine in the future! |
