Reviews

95 Wine Enthusiast -
Bright freshness rules the day in this delicious vintage of Elias Fernandez's side project with Doug Shafer. Green apple, Meyer lemon and lime flavors provide pleasure, with a tense vibrancy and focused acidity filling the palate.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Who even KNEW these two legends were making an Albarino? A hyper-fresh, citrus-packed, drink-with-gusto white from Shafer's Red Shoulder Ranch in Carneros, where they also grow their fantastic Chardonnay. No oak, but aged sur lees for texture and weight...just pure, racy fruit and clean, zippy flavors. 95 points! Crazy!! The highest scoring Albarino in Wine Enthusiast history! 

About the Producer

Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez started making wine together in 1984. Doug had just been hired as the winemaker at his father's winery Shafer vineyards a year prior when Elias joined to take over winemaking. Eighty Four is Doug and Elias' new playground to get back to their roots of experimenting and challenging themselves like they once did in those earlier years. Working with the unsung hero grapes like Albarino, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Gamay, if your looking for a break from the Cabernet and Chardonnay train, check these wines out!
