Gorgeous with so much energy. Red fruit, red cherries, raspberries. Tons of vibrancy. Feels sophisticated too with a really finessed texture.

2016 vintage. Tasted after opened (not decanted) 2.5 hours prior. Medium-heavy body. If blind tasting, probably would have tried to slot this as a Shafer Hillside Select: 2012-2015 timeframe given the feminine style with enduring finish but this has more bod. This was very nice yet personally prefer their grippier Signature Cab which is, roughly, half the price of this vehicle. 02.22.25.

Happy Birthday Jim!! What a great wine. “To smell the nose is like hearing angels trumpeting at the pearly gates!” Hallelujah-this is perfection! And you guys know I don’t take this lightly!
