Made from a challenging vintage in Napa Valley, the 1988 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select offers notes of roasted coffee beans and earth, but little ripe fruit. The wine is beginning to show some fatigue and oxidative tendencies, so drink it up.

Shafer Vineyards
The site of Shafer has been around since 1880, and grapes continued to be grown here, even during prohibition. It is said that some wine was made here during that time. In 1972, John Shafer bought the property in the Stag’s Leap district, he immediately began planting the Cabernet on the hillside.
