The 1993 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 750 ml is from the Stags Leap District region of California. Shafer Vineyards, from the Stags Leap district of Napa Valley, began in 1972 when John Shafer left his 23-year publishing career to start a new family venture in wine. With the help of his son, Doug, they replanted all the existing vines in the first years of business and, in 1978, crushed their first lot of cabernet grapes. Since their first release, Shafer wines have impressed enthusiasts and critics alike. They have received several perfect scores from Robert Parker for their 'Hillside Select,' and a list of other accolades that is too long to list. Known for its silky tannins, Shafer's Hillside Select is aged a full four years prior to release. There is no doubt, Shafer Vineyards is one of Napa's, and maybe even the world's, very best producers of cabernet sauvignon.

94 pts - Wine Advocate

["At the top of this estate's qualitative hierarchy are their Cabernet Sauvignons. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is an outstanding wine that is close in quality to the 1992 and 1991. The 1993 boasts an opaque purple color, as well as a sweet, smoky nose of licorice, blackcurrants, minerals, and vanillin. Huge, rich, and full-bodied, with fabulous concentration and extract, but harder tannin than the 1992 or 1994, this is a large-scaled, well-balanced, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon to drink between 2000-2020. Readers may remember my previous lavish reviews of the Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignons. These wines have always been high class, but the quality level since 1991 has pushed Shafer's Hillside Select into an elite grouping of two dozen or so California Cabernet producers. There are 2,000-2,400 cases made of these rich, ageworthy Cabernets. Another of Napa's finest wineries, Shafer has taken full advantage of a succession of superlative vintages during the nineties, producing a powerful portfolio of brilliant wines. Since 1991, just about everything emerging from Shafer Vineyards has been high on buyers' lists. All things considered, Doug and John Shafer are at the top of their game. - Robert Parker"]
