Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
...very powerful, with blackcurrants, cedar wood, vanillin and spice box. The wine is full-bodied, showing outstanding purity... Nevertheless, it’s top-notch and a brilliant wine on its own. Robert Parker

Shafer' Hillside select is always a great pour regardless of vintage. I found the 2009 lacking some of the complexity in comparison to better vintages BUT it was still incredible nonetheless. I preferred the Katrina to the shafer on this occasion.

Drank on vacation, just incredible wine. One of the best most consistent Napa Cabs.

Inviting aromas of blackberry, cassis, black cherry, chocolate and smoke with firm tannins that will no doubt soften over years of cellar aging.

Really nice. Opened a new hour before my imbibing. Classic Cali cab. Dark and brooding with lots of life left. Drinking beautifully with a super-llong finish.
