Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon One-Point-Five 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five Stags Leap is very deep purple-black in color and gives up intense Black Forest cake, black berry pie and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of licorice, eucalyptus, espresso, tar and chargrilled beef. Full-bodied, it packs the black fruit preserves flavors and earthy accents into the palate, with a firm frame and great freshness on the finish.
95 James Suckling -
Very strong and pure aromas of blackcurrants with violets and lightly herbal notes, leading to a palate that has dark-mineral allure. This delivers attractive, ripe dark berries with a very long, focused and assertive, neatly cut finish. Elegance with power. Drink or hold.
95 Wine Enthusiast -
This wine is sourced from the producer's Hillside Estate and Borderline Vineyards two miles south of the winery. It offers toasted oak, leather, clove and cinnamon—a savory profile that's deceptively fresh in underlying acidity. Dark plum and black cherry flavors are lushly textured and spicy on the palate.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
I can’t stress enough how delicious and irresistible these wines are -- especially at their price points relative to a LOT of other Napa Cabs. Winemaker Elias Fernanadez is the bomb! He's carefully mastered the winemaking at Shafer over the course of 35 years (!), one of the longest standing stints of any winemaker in Napa. We have a pretty irresistible offer for you today...

The One-Point-Five name refers to John and Doug Shafer’s 35 year father-and-son partnership. The fruit is all Stag's Leap estate fruit, from their hillside vineyards as well as their vineyard next to Clos du Val called "Borderline". Consider the breed and pedigree here and you'd be wise to load up! The 2016 exemplifies the iron fist in the velvet glove...here's to John Shafer!

About the Producer

John Shafer uprooted his family from Chicago in 1972, and bought 209 acres in what would later become Stag's Leap District. He quickly planted a small parcel of Cabernet in the hillsides above the winery at the advice of Nathan Fay and created his first wine from that planting in 1978, a precursor to their legendary Hillside Select. John's son Doug joined the family biz in 1983 and has helped shepard the winery into the international limelight.
