Wine Spectator
Reviewed October 2003A mouthful, this wine gushes with pure, ripe Cabernet fruit. Tiers of currant, anise, blackberry, cherry and wild berry flavors are supported by pretty mocha-scented oak and plush, velvety tannins that firm up on the finish, giving it a solid backbone, yet the persistent flavors keep pushing through.

Wine Advocate
The 2000 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is another beautiful vintage from a challenging year. The brilliant winemaking and great terroir of the Hillside Select overcame the vintage deficiencies. A touch of herbaceousness is a rarity in a Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon, but one can taste it in the 2000. It adds complexity as opposed to any distraction. (RP)
Notes
Drawn from the steep hillside blocks of Shafer's Stags Leap District estate, Hillside Select is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon. First produced with the 1983 vintage, it is the estate's flagship bottling.
