The tasting note for 2013 Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon is from James Sucklingand the score is 99 - Wonderful floral aromas with perfumed roses plus hints of blackcurrants and spearmint. Full-bodied and so powerful and muscular but always showing the brightness and beauty of fruit. Winemakers say this reminds them of the 1978, their first year. It certainly has the structure — "those tannins" as they put it. Finish is so impressive with tar, iron and spices.
