Shafer Hillside Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Ireland light licorice and dried earthThe aromas of blackberry, black cherry and spice combine power and perfume while the wine fills the mouth with a rich abundance of cassis, blackberry, toasty vanilla, mocha, herbs, and a seamless integration of soft, ripe tannins.
