2021 Shafer One Point Five 750ML

2021 Shafer One Point Five 750ML

2021 Shafer One Point Five 750ML The 2021 One Point Five is distinguished by lush, intense aromas and flavors of black cherry, crème de cassis, black plum right from the tree, lavender, and savory herbs. This classic Cabernet Sauvignon displays equal measures of richness and balance while the wine’s seamlessly integrated tannins offer the kind of structure that promises decades of beauty to come.

96 Points Wine Enthusiast “Cellar Selection”: “This sophisticated and concentrated wine wraps lovely dark plums, blueberries and cocoa flavors in velvety tannins that are well integrated and soothing, while still setting the wine up for a potentially long life. Subtle baking spices, espresso and cedar accents enhance the impressive fruit flavors. Best from 2027–2037.“

96 Points Jeb Dunnuck: “More Cabernet-dominated, the Shafer 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five checks in as 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot, and a splash of Malbec. It has incredible purity in its cassis, graphite, lead pencil, and camphor on the nose and a concentrated, medium to full-bodied, layered style on the palate.”

Robert Parker says of Shafer Vineyards “One of Napa’s most prominent and respected wineries, Shafer is a poster boy for remarkable and consistent quality across the board. All of this is the work of the brilliant father and son team of John and Doug Shafer as well as their long-term winemaker and vineyard manager, Elias Fernandez.” They make Iconic Stag’s Leap District Cab and today we have a limited opportunity on the superb 2021 Safer One Point Five Cabernet with double 96pt scores and from the great 2021 vintage that got 96pt Parker, 97pts Wine Spectator for the vintage. The wine honors the partnership of John and Doug Shafer, who said they worked together so long their wasn’t a second generation story but a generation and a half. This 2021 is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petite Verdot, 2% Merlot and 1% Malbec aged 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels (Allier & Tronçais).

Robert Parker: “…the Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is, for my money, one of the best wines in Napa Valley in its price range..”
