Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 1994 (For local pickup one day in advance!)

This beautifully aged organic Cabernet Sauvignon from Shafer's prestigious Hillside Select showcases a complex palate with flavors of dark fruit, leather, and a hint of tobacco. Ideal for special occasions or wine collectors, this vintage pairs well with dishes like prime rib or a rich wild mushroom risotto. Producer tasting notes: "Showing delicate, vibrant layers of cherries, strawberries, tea, cedar, tobacco and leather. Very pretty with lovely bottle bouquet." - Shafer Vineyards Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) - A spectacular wine, the 1994 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select begins a succession of profound Hillside Select cuvées that continues nearly uninterrupted (1996 misses slightly) to the present day. It is a further indication of just how impressive this team’s performance has been at this winery. The fully mature 1994, which has another 15-20 years of drinkability ahead of it, exhibits a complex, nearly flamboyant nose of subtle oak, blue, red and black fruits, graphite and licorice. The gorgeous aromas are followed by an opulent, full-bodied, multidimensional mouthfeel that coats the palate.
