Good medium red. Enticing lift to the aromas of redcurrant, black pepper, sage, mint, spices and flowers. Concentrated and fresh if not hugely expansive, conveying a slightly aggressive quality to its nicely delineated flavors of plum, redcurrant, spices and herbs. The tannins are firm but fairly sweet, and the finish persistent. This wine held up nicely in the glass. This vintage began with a cold, rainy flowering and irregular clusters, and the estate did extensive work to even out the ripeness of the fruit.

About the Producer
John Shafer uprooted his family from Chicago in 1972, and bought 209 acres in what would later become Stag's Leap District. He quickly planted a small parcel of Cabernet in the hillsides above the winery at the advice of Nathan Fay and created his first wine from that planting in 1978, a precursor to their legendary Hillside Select. John's son Doug joined the family biz in 1983 and has helped shepard the winery into the international limelight.
