Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley 2021 En Primeur - Case of 3
The 2021 Hillside Select is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon, produced from Shafer's hillside vineyards in Stag's Leap District and includes their prized blocks: Sunspot, John's Upper Seven, Hitching Post, and Firebreak. The long growing season of warm days and cool nights developed rich, highly concentrated Cabernet with superb aromatic power and clarity of cassis, crisp black cherry, blackberry and red plum fruits, with pressed dark flowers, and notes of cedar, tobacco and dried tea from 28 months in new French oak barriques. Full-bodied, ripe and wonderfully deep with beautiful tannins, a cool mineral vein highlighting the Stag's Leap terroir, lovely acidity and a luxuriously long finish. There are near perfect scores out there for this brilliant edition. 5-25 years

About En Primeur
Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines
Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
