SHAFER - ONE POINT FIVE 375ML

Review by: Robert Parker Wine Advocate: Issue 180, December 2008 Rating: 89 points Drink now - 2023 There are approximately 9,000 cases of the Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five Stags Leap. The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2006 offers delicious red currant and black cherry fruit interwoven with notions of loamy soil and spring flowers. It is an elegant, stylish effort to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. Celebrating 30 years of consistent quality and both critical and commercial success, this family run winery remains one of the most admirable operations in California. The Shafers have had tremendous success with their Relentless, which was first released in 1999. A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Petite Sirah that spends 32 months in 100% new French oak, it is a remarkably consistent offering that rarely displays much oak. The Syrah is from Napa's cool-climate Oak Knoll sector. One of the world's most prodigious Cabernet Sauvignons is Shafer's 2,000-case cuvee called Hillside Select. Always 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new French oak for a whopping 32 months, it boasts a gorgeous track record dating back to the early nineties, and just about every recent vintage has flirted with perfection. Review by: James Laube Wine Spectator: Issue October 31, 2005 Rating: 87 points Drink now - 2013 Intense and concentrated at its best, with a tightly wound band of earthy currant, anise, cedar and sage. Picks up a spice note and then mouthcoating tannins on the finish. A controversial wine because of bottle variation. Other samples were quite leathery. Best from 2008 through 2013. 7,000 cases made.
