A fabulous edition of the flagship Hillside Select Cabernet caps off a stunning set of 2018s at Shafer. Proprietor Doug Shafer and longtime winemaker Elias Fernandez continue to add finesse and refinement to these wines. That is evident from top to bottom. I imagine the 2017 Hillside might get lost a bit in all of the anticipation for the 2018, but that would be a mistake, as it is truly superb and a magnificent achievement for a year fraught with challenges.

There is so much to like in these new and upcoming releases from Shafer. The quality and pedigree of the 2016 vintage is evident in a series of wines that are stellar across the board. I was also very positively surprised by the 2017s. Shafer is among the producers where the 2017s have the potential to outshine the 2015s, which is saying a lot. In short, there is much to admire here. The Hillside Select Cabernet remains the flagship, but frankly I am just as turned on the One Point Five Cabernet and the Merlot-based TD-9, both of which deliver plenty of the Shafer magic at far more accessible prices.
