Shafer Vineyards, Sunspot Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District 2024

Release date: October 2028

Description:

The 2024 Sunspot Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a single block on Shafer’s historic hillside estate, the heart of the winery’s iconic Hillside Select. Decades of careful stewardship have shaped these vines, rooted in shallow, rocky volcanic soils just 18 to 22 inches deep. Yields are naturally low—half to one-and-a-half tons per acre—producing small, intensely flavored grapes that express the essence of this rugged site. Each bottle reflects the vineyard’s balance, elegance, and opulence, capturing the character of Shafer’s Hillside Select. Sunspot is a testament to meticulous vineyard management and the enduring legacy of one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated blocks.
