Some wines are made to impress. Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is made to endure. Crafted exclusively from estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the hillside vineyards of the Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, this flagship wine reflects the character of each vintage rather than a fixed recipe.
Produced in limited quantities and guided by meticulous vineyard care, the 2022 vintage showcases rich layers of blackberry, cassis, dark cherry, cocoa, and graphite, framed by polished tannins and beautifully integrated oak. Elegant, structured, and remarkably balanced, it offers exceptional depth today while rewarding patient cellaring for years to come.
As the saying goes, great things take time. Renowned for its consistency, limited production, and outstanding aging potential, Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 remains one of Napa Valley's most sought-after and collectible Cabernet Sauvignons.
