Shafer 2009 One Point Five, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley |
|
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. With over 200-plus acres of estate holdings, and 55 surrounding their winery in Stags Leap, this is a winery that never seems to disappoint." This 2009 is the latest release. It's gotten 90+ scores froma all of the reviewers. Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored it 92 points saying "Aged in 100% new French oak, this 100% Cabernet is big, sweet and tannic. It’s offering little beyond exceptionally rich, ripe flavors of blackberries, black currants and dark chocolate. It’s almost like a Port wine whose high alcohol is an integral part of the package. Shows the dramatic flair of all Shafer’s red wines, but you might want to cellar it for 5–6 years. " Very Limited!
