The 1994 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.
