Shafer Hillside Select Stags Leap District 2012
Detailed info
Praised from the very first 1978 vintage, Shafer's Cabernet Sauvignons took top place at an international blind-taste competition in Germany a few years later, beating out the mythic estates of Châteaux Margaux, Latour and Palmer.
«A wine with incredible finesse and elegance.... Full body, very fine tannins and fabulous freshness. The length and polish is truly exceptional. The hint of austerity makes it irresistible. A joy to drink. But has a great future ahead of it.» – www.jamessuckling.com
