Description
With its steep slope and western exposure, Shafer's Sunspot Vineyard resembles its namesake, a favorite Utah ski run where John Shafer taught his kids to ski. Sunspot forms the backbone of Shafer's Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon. Here it stars solo in a quarter-barrel lot from the 1998 vintage.
No winemaker information available.
