2018 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select
Community Tasting Note
Alexander Smith Likes this wine:
96 Points
Thursday, February 23, 2023 - Premiere Napa Valley; 2/22/2023-3/25/2023 (Napa, California): This is a big structured and muscular wine, showing lots of cassis, blackberry, blackcurrant and chocolate notes at this stages, waves of dark lush fruit fill the palate, along with firm tannins. This is going to be a powerhouse, but it needs time, 97+ future potential.
