Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select 2023

Dense blackberry and cassis meld with cedar spice and graphite minerality. The structure impresses. Firm yet polished tannins carry concentrated dark fruit through a lingering finish marked by violet and tobacco leaf. Sophisticated winemaking shows in every detail. Approachable now but built for the long haul.
