About Shafer 2021 One Point Five, Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley
Shafer Vineyards has crafted wines in Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District for nearly 50 years. The estate encompasses 240 acres of world-class vineyards, sources for Shafer’s wines — Hillside Select, Relentless, One Point Five, TD-9, and Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay.
One Point Five is their signature Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the timeless elegance of top Napa Valley vineyards. This wine honors the founding partnership of John and Doug Shafer, who said they’d worked together so long theirs 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).
Some comments from the winemaker Elias Fernandez about this vintage, "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."
Wine Enthusiast scored this 96 points saying, "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."
