The richly fruited, full-bodied palate has a lively skip in its step, featuring gorgeous ripe, velvety tannins and fantastic freshness to support all the spicy black fruit layers, finishing long and perfumed.

Revealing a dense purple color as well as a killer nose of blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries, scorched earth, tobacco, violets, and exotic spices, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, pure, incredibly layered mouthfeel, building tannins, and a great, great finish. As with most top 2017s, it stays tight and compact on the palate, with notable structure and impressive concentration. It has some up-front appeal given its purity of fruit and balance, yet it's going to take 7-8 years to hit prime time and will be a long-lived bottle of Napa Cabernet. Hats off to Doug Shafer and the team for yet another magical Cabernet Sauvignon!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick McMullen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770385563969,"sku":"01-19479","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/1688\/1467\/files\/njkugwyj8zipidnlh93p_e3822e03-7b80-4600-961a-c5c07045a283.jpg?v=1780003134","url":"https:\/\/vintagewinessd.com\/products\/2017-shafer-hillside-select-cabernet-napa-valley","provider":"Vintage Wines San Diego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
