1992 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (750ml)

This is a piece of Napa history. The 1992 marked a turning point for Hillside Select — the moment when winemaker Elias Fernandez and the Shafer family entered a dramatic new level of quality, pushing this bottling into an elite class of world-class Cabernet.

The wine opens with a profoundly complex nose of minerals, ripe cassis, cedar, chocolate, and subtle herbs. Full-bodied yet silky, with layers of concentrated, highly extracted fruit, it is exceptionally well-balanced and beautifully pure. ecent notes describe a beautiful magenta color with almost zero bricking, glorious red fruits and cassis, a hint of cinnamon, and a long acid-filled finish with fully integrated tannins — drinking at peak right now and an absolute pleasure.

The Hillside Select vineyards sit beneath the great Stags Leap Palisades, planted on thin, volcanic, nutrient-poor soils that yield small, thick-skinned, intensely flavored Cabernet berries — the foundation of the wine’s remarkable structure and depth. Robert Parker awarded it 95 points in The Wine Advocate.

At over three decades of age, this is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to taste one of California’s most iconic Cabernets at full maturity.
