Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

Known for its traditional flavor, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon wine is the most famous dry wine to be served with food. As a world’s most dominant red wine-grape variety, it is cultivated all around the world, although many might predominantly associate it with the red wines of Bordeaux, where it is combined with Merlot to create many crucial and influential blends. Besides Bordeaux, this grape varietal is mostly present in Tuscany, Napa Valley, Australia, and Chile.

It doesn’t take a veteran wine-lover to enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon wines on the surface, as their flavor is unique and compelling. It does, however, take an expert to pick up on all the subtleties and fully appreciate the complexity, craftsmanship, and dedication that radiate from a wine of this quality. Cabernet Sauvignon wines have an alcohol content that hovers around 13.5%, and a signature deep, dark color – the very blood of the grapes, bottled and preserved for our enjoyment and dissection. The thickness and richness of the texture only add to this comparison, making the crimson nectar feel alive in the glass. The level of tannin present in the wine will sap the moisture from your mouth, and what better way to fix that issue than with another glass? Tasting Cabernet Sauvignon is tasting a large portion of winemaking history, and very few people can turn down a glass. A must-have for your collection, for sure.

2019 shafer cabernet sauvignon hillside select California Red

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.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 98+ RPThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is one of the most elegant wines I have tasted at Shafer. Effusive aromatics and silky tannins are immediately captivating. Crushed red/purplish berry fruit, mint, spice, lavender and licorice are all finely knit. We will see, but the 2019 may very well represent a new direction for Hillside Select, one of Napa Valley’s most iconic Cabernets.Vinous Media | 98 VMA beautiful nose of pitted cherries, redcurrants, fresh herbs and violets. Full-bodied with fine, structured tannins. More gravelly, mineral and dark than the nose lets on. Savory almost. Terrific depth and concentration that keeps the palate flavorful through the generous finish. Chocolate, sage, rosemary, bark and moss. Layered. Superb wine. Needs time to come together. Best after 2024 and onward.James Suckling | 98 JSThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is another magical vintage for this cuvée. All Cabernet Sauvignon from hillside vineyards on the eastern side of Stags Leap, it offers a vivid purple hue as well as extraordinary notes of cassis, black raspberries, violets, camphor, and spring flowers, with perfectly integrated background oak. Full-bodied but not massive, it’s flawlessly balanced on the palate and has ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, and a great, great finish. It’s another 30- to 40-year wine from this incredible team that readers will absolutely love.Jeb Dunnuck | 98 JDA ripe, exuberant style, with generous plum cake, blackberry compote and açaí berry notes mixed with melted black licorice and a nicely polished, singed mesquite–accented finish. Hard to resist now (if you like the power style), but also has the energy to take some cellaring. Drink now through 2039. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,400 cases made.Wine Spectator | 94 WS
