With 25 years of experience, the owner has maintained this collection in a professional Rosehill Cellars environment since 2007. Sourced via the LCBO or direct-from-winery imports (Mendoza, Napa), the bottles have never left climate-controlled storage. As his palate has shifted toward the Old World, he is reducing his New World stock to better manage his dual cellars in Ontario and Bordeaux.

This is the tasting note for 2010 Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. A remarkable wine, the 2010 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select has gone from strength to strength since it was in cask. It is stunningly rich, with classic, fragrant notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, vanilla, graphite and spring flowers. It exhibits an opaque purple color, with a full-bodied, massive mouthfeel, but no heaviness, and again, a flawless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood. It’s classic California Cabernet, but beautifully put together, showing impeccable craftsmanship and fabulous potential. This is obviously a very young, infantile style of Cabernet that won’t hit its prime for at least another decade and last close to half a century, based on how older vintages that were less well-endowed have matured from Shafer.
