Shafer - Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District 2021 (750ml) Barbera del MonferratoWinemaker Notes The 2021 vintage expresses Hillside Selects singular elegance, vibrancy, and balance. The aromas lift out of the glass, offering blackberry, cedar, black currant, and just picked black cherry with graceful floral and leather tones. The complexity of the vintage is striking, merging dark fruit with tobacco, red plum, wet stone, lavender, and black tea. The ripe, seamlessly integrated tannins add depth, precision, and serious structure
