We have always enjoyed the Cab and now the 1.5 as well as the past Firebreak and continue to love Relentless. I just decided to try the 03 Hillside Select. Is it as good as a Schrader Cab?

I agree on the 1.5 -we like this wine - we like the consistency of Shafer wines and the Hillside Select is pretty darn good.

yes, winepath and liked it too. doesn't come close to the hillside select though.

Has anyone tried Shafer's 1.5? I think it is rteally good.

I'm jealous!

Just had the 02. Reaffirms my original thoughts... As good as it gets from Napa.

I agree Sommelier, a little steep at 200 for my blood, but if you've got it, the Hillside Select is the way to go.

Thats interesting... I would consider Shafer Hillside to be one of the "First Growthe" Napa wines, worth paying $200+ for.

I agree Diamond Girl, I enjoyed a bottle of the Hillside Select for my anniversary last year and was deeply impressed.

Shafer Vineyards is on my short list of favorites. Their Hillside select is one of the finest wines i've had. I recieved a bottle for my birthday last year and i have to say im hoping for another this year.

I think you're way off base on this one JFrosh. I had the Hillside Select on one occasion a few years ago and it still stands out in my mind as the quintessential Stags Leap Cab.

Yeah, im definitely interested in any $10 bottle that's on par with the hillside select.

jfrosh: Really? point us to them. I could use some $10 hillside select ;)

Way over rated. I have had better $10 bottles.
