2016 SHAFER “ONE POINT FIVE” STAGS LEAP DISTRICT CABERNET SAUVIGNON From 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 Points From Robert Parker’s The 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. Drink 2019-2045.” 95 Points From 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.” 95 Points
