2011 Shafer Vineyards “One Point Five” Cabernet Sauvignon – in 3 Litre!

Shafer released their first Cabernet in 1981 and Doug Shafer joined his father John at the winery, as winemaker, just two years later.

Doug says… “Dad and I learned the wine business together. At some point we coined the phrase 'a generation-and-a-half' to describe our partnership because it wasn't the classic second-generation story where a parent hands off an established, profitable family business to a son or daughter. We were both here working to ensure the winery would be a success." The One Point Five label takes its name from the generation-and-a-half idea.

One Point Five is sourced primarily from two Stags Leap District vineyards – Shafer's hillside estate and the Borderline vineyard located two miles south of the winery, a 25-acre site purchased by the winery in 1999.  Here's what noted wine critic Robert Parker had to say:

"… A revelation, it is hard to believe the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five (95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot) came from a challenging vintage of cool weather and rainy periods. It boasts an inky/purple color along with sweet cassis and mulberry fruit intermixed with notions of high quality toast and spring flowers. … the 2011 is outstanding … brilliance is written all over it."

— Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate

Shafer is utterly profound, world-class wine that any wine lovers who enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon need to sample at least once in their life.

And here is an opportunity for you, in 3 Litre!
