"The 2006 is performing even better from bottle than it did from barrel
The palate is full-bodied and super concentrated yet possesses great energy with vibrant red and black fruits and loads of mineral accents
A similar but slightly riper and much spicier nose includes blue berry and plum nuances that precede the more obviously mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract
intense aromas of new saddle leather
An initial blast of blue and black fruit leads to sweet
Shafer Hillside Select 2022 1.5L Rhone "The 2006 is performing even"Beautifully done, with a non 2022 like level of freshness and purity, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select reveals blackcurrant, spice, flowers, subtle chocolate, and graphite that all develop nicely with time in the glass. It's medium to full bodied on the palate and has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This incredibly successful 2022 can be drunk any time over the coming two decades.
