Shafer Hillside Select 2002 6-PK OWC 750mL is a six-bottle original-wood case of Shafer’s flagship Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon. Grand Cru Liquid Assets lists the wine at 14.8% ABV and reproduces Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck notes, describing a lavish, full-bodied 2002 with long aging capacity.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Parker cites melted chocolate, blackcurrant jam, sweet black cherries, licorice, camphor and charcoal, while Dunnuck adds truffly earth and assorted spices.
- Palate: Very full-bodied and opulently textured, with lavish fruit and enough structure to keep the wine balanced over long cellaring.
- Finish: Persistent and age-worthy, with Parker suggesting 20-25 more years and Dunnuck also projecting a long remaining plateau.
Best For
Collectors looking for a full original-wood six-pack of mature Hillside Select, or buyers targeting one of Shafer’s best-known early-2000s vintages.
