Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon 1999Hillside Select
Bottle (6)
THE NETWORK’S CELLAR We are locked into an NDA from disclosing whom this cellar belongs, but make no mistake, we guarantee you have seen their work. While creating lasting art for the small screen our consignor was simultaneously collecting vinous art from some of finest wineries on the planet—and in large quantities. There are far too many highlights to list, but a quick snapshot includes numerous OWC of Harlan, Colgin, Insignia, Ridge, Mouton, etc. Wines have been untouched and stored professionally in Los Angeles for over a decade. A flawless collection. Bid with utmost confidence.
"A vintage I was never as fond of as many of my colleagues, the 1999 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select certainly proved that they may have been more correct. Certainly not one of the all-time Shafer Hillsides, but nevertheless, a youthful, tannic, firm, structured wine, with more intellectual than hedonistic appeal at age 16, this wine has a dense purple color to the rim, notes of licorice, tobacco leaf, blackcurrants, followed by relatively high acids for a Hillside Select (or at least they present themselves that way) with some rather massive tannin. This is a big, medium to full-bodied wine with a Bordeaux-like structure imposed on it. It’s still moving in the right direction, and should hit its peak in another 4-5 years and then last for 15-20." (93+ pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2014)
“Good saturated ruby-red. Superripe aromas of currant, tobacco, coffee, chocolate and maple syrup. Sweet, lush and suave, with a floral aspect; showing the vibrant, juicy quality of the vintage's better examples. Really spreads out to coat the palate. Finishes with big, sweet, broad tannins and a mineral note.” (94 pts. Stephen Tanzer, May 2003)
