Winemaker Notes

Enticing aromas of crushed red and black berries fill the glass along with more delicate layers of sage, vanilla, cedar, and tobacco leaf. In the mouth the herbs and fruit are nicely integrated within a structure of ripe Stags Leap District tannins. The finish is lingering and pleasurable, inviting another taste.

One Point Five is an elegant, silky Cabernet Sauvignon with soft tannins and abundant fruit that is approachable when young, yet capable of aging gracefully. This wine reflects the climate and soils of our Stags Leap District vineyard sites and Shafer's commitment to meticulous, sustainable farming and quality winemaking.

Blend: 99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petite Verdot

Critical Acclaim

RP 94

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Mocha, tar, spices and tobacco all flow from the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five. A rich, intense wine, the 2010 impresses for its depth and sheer power. This is far from an easygoing Cabernet. I imagine the 2010 might still be going strong at age 20. The cold, late season yielded an utterly magnificent Cabernet that will challenge the top labels of many other properties. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.

Wine & Spirits

Shafer cabernet has helped define the supple richness of fruit from the Stags Leap District, particularly Hillside Select, which comes from the estate's higheer knolls nestled into the escarpment at the eastern edge of the Napa Valley. One Point Five grows on lower ground; a small portion is purchased fruit and the balance comes from the famil's Oak Knoll estate just over the SLD border. In 2010, 30 percent of the blend came from Shafer's Borderline Estate in stags Leap, where the team dropped half t he fruit to ripen the rest in the cool season. They harvested 24.5 Brix two days before a late October storm dropped five inches of Rain. The fortuitous timing created a wine with that SLD satin texture in the tannins, saturated red fruit and riper notes of dimpled grapes. If there's raisining here, the fruit is plump enough to fill out the skins, tasting black and eathy, hinting at volcanic dust. This elegant enough to bridge the gap between terroir expression and luxury wine.

Wine Spectator

Intense and concentrated, this red is typically rustic, tilting toward dark berry and cedar, with gripping, gutsy tannins that should appeal to those who like to chew on their wines.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

View all products

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
