Deep flavors of black cherry and plum roll over the palate in Shafer Vineyards One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, wrapped in notes of violets, dark chocolate, roasted coffee bean and sweet spice from its time in French oak. The cool vintage lends a touch of poise to its generous, full-bodied frame, with plush yet finely etched tannins giving the finish a long, suave glide that hints at the estate’s top bottling. This is both immediately impressive and clearly built to develop more nuance with time in the cellar.

Shafer’s One Point Five is the estate’s flagship Stags Leap District–based Cabernet Sauvignon, named to honor the “generation-and-a-half” partnership of John and Doug Shafer and typically blended with small portions of Bordeaux varieties, then aged in 100% new French oak. Known for its polished, velvety tannins and generous dark-fruit profile—black cherry, cassis, plum—layered with savory herbs, spice, and graphite, it marries the power of Napa Valley Cabernet with the svelte, silky texture that characterizes the Stags Leap District terroir.
