Blackberries, redcurrants, spicy oak, dried flowers, and tobacco notes all give way to a full-bodied 2022 that has sweet tannins and great purity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97 James Suckling - This offers the classic richness and breadth of the Shafer property, backed by a firm structure of fine-grained tannins and the cool, collected character of the Stags Leap district. It is saturated with dark cherries, dried blueberries, blackcurrants, graphite and bittersweet chocolate. At first sip expansive and ripe, then firmer and more linear on the palate due to the persistent tannins and overall fine balance. Drink now or hold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Shafer's big kahuna, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select, was presented as a barrel sample in August 2025. Black cherries and cassis are framed by cedar and vanilla-inflected oak, giving this wine a slightly monolithic bouquet right now. It's full-bodied, dense and concentrated but still boasts the signature Stags Leap District texture to its suede-like tannins, which linger elegantly on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHERN WINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39395722068041,"sku":"510000000007518","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/ShaferHillsideSelectCabernet.png?v=1781056580","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2022-shafer-cabernet-sauvignon-hillside-select-stags-leap-district","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
