April 5, 2013 - Very deep dark-red with slightly lighter, brown edges.
Beautiful rich colors!
Intense aromas of ripe Dark Berries and Dark Chocolate. Dried Tomatoes paired with other secondary characteristics as Leather and Tar.
Some Sweetness and Vanilla.
What a nose! Powerful and complex.
Rich flavours of ripe Cassis and Black Cherries.
Traces of Cedar, Earth and some herbs. Plenty of depth and a long soft finish with Dark Fruits and some Pepper spiciness!
Great complexity perfectly packed!
Yes, I am a fan of Shafer wines, but this one was a real surprise!
If somebody had told me I was drinking Hillside Select, I probably would have believed him.
An impressive wine!
Big and bold, but beautifully aged with perfect structure, proportions and complexity.
