The score for 2019 Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon is 98+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Sourced from specific blocks of estate-grown fruit, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is another highly successful vintage. All Cabernet Sauvignon aged 32 months in 100% new French oak, it boasts intense aromas of pencil shavings, dark loam, cassis and plum on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, super-ripe, rich, dense and concentrated—a truly impressive California vin de garde. Tannic but ripe, it finishes long and firm on the finish, adding a hint of mocha. To be released in September 2023, it's a strong showing and hopefully an indication that quality will remain high under the new ownership. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - Vinous 98 points , The Wine Advocate 98 points , James Suckling 98 points , Jeb Dunnuck 98 points , The Wine Independent 98 points , Wine Enthusiast 97 points .
