Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

A barrel sample of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep purple-black coloured 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select bursts with wild blueberries, boysenberries, black and red cherries, and fresh blackcurrants with violets, pencil shavings, crushed rocks, and tobacco nuances. Full-bodied, firm, and grainy, the palate is built like a brick house with great freshness and energy, finishing long and vibrantly fruited. Great purity!
