Shafer Hillside Select 2007 1.5L

Shafer Hillside Select 2007 1.5L is a magnum-format Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stags Leap District. Cult Wine identifies the 2007 Hillside Select Magnum as a 100-point Robert Parker release from Shafer’s benchmark estate Cabernet line, supported by the house description of shallow, free-draining hillside soils and long-aging style.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Parker describes sweet crème de cassis, black cherries, licorice and toasty oak.
• Palate: Multilayered, full-throttle and very pure, with massive fruit intensity but no sense of heaviness in the cited review.
• Finish: Parker projects a long drinking life, noting the wine would still need time to hit its full stride and should drink well for decades.

Best For

Collectors seeking a 100-point Hillside Select magnum and buyers focused on benchmark Stags Leap District Cabernet in large format.
