2013 SHAFER “ONE POINT FIVE” STAGS LEAP CABERNET SAUVIGNON

2013 SHAFER "ONE POINT FIVE" STAGS LEAP CABERNET SAUVIGNON

From James Suckling, "Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and cracked pepper. Some dried flowers. Full-bodied, firm and very structured with chewy yet polished tannins and a long, long finish. Vivd and gorgeous. Lots of lemon rind. Beautiful now. Built for aging. Better in 2020." 95 Points "2013 SHAFER "ONE POINT FIVE" STAGS LEAP CABERNET SAUVIGNON"

From Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five has a dense ruby/purple color and is a blend of 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 100% new French oak. This is always a beautifully elegant wine from Shafer, and the 2013 is no exception. Blueberry, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, along with crushed rock and spring flowers are present in this medium-bodied, stylish and elegant wine. Tannins are soft, the wine pure and ideal for drinking now and over the next 12-15 years." 94 Points
