All Cabernet Sauvignon from hillside vineyards on the eastern side of Stags Leap, it offers a vivid purple hue as well as extraordinary notes of cassis, black raspberries, violets, camphor, and spring flowers, with perfectly integrated background oak. Full-bodied but not massive, it’s flawlessly balanced on the palate and has ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, and a great, great finish. It’s another 30- to 40-year wine from this incredible team that readers will absolutely love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck, 98 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GLWS Henry Fox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44774035980475,"sku":"Z 5A","price":309.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/files\/hillsideselect.webp?v=1695648656"},{"product_id":"2022-shafer-vineyards-hillside-select-cabernet-sauvignon-stags-leap-district-usa-750ml","title":"2022 Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, USA (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINEMAKER'S NOTES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 Hillside Select opens with generous aromatics, poise, and elegance.
