| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nOne Point Five is Shafer's signature Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the timeless elegance of top Napa Valley vineyards. This wine honors the founding partnership of John and Doug Shafer, who said they'd worked together so long theirs wasn't a second-generation story but a generation and a half.\r\nThe long, sunny 2021 summer created idyllic growing season. The fruit developed rich color with clean, elegant, and pure aromas and flavors. This sophisticated and concentrated wine wraps lovely dark plums, blueberries and cocoa flavors in velvety tannins that are well integrated and soothing, while still setting the wine up for a potentially long life. Subtle baking spices, espresso and cedar accents enhance the impressive fruit flavors.\r\nBlend: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petite Verdot, 2% Merlot, 1% Malbec\r\nWine Enthusiast 96 Points \r\nJeb Dunnuck 96 Points \r\nJames Suckling 94 Points\u00a0\r\nThe One Point Five Story\r\nOn a cold day in January 1983, Doug Shafer entered the family winery for the first time as winemaker. The future of Shafer Vineyards was an unknown back then. Doug\u2019s father, John Shafer, had produced his first wine, 1978 Cabernet Sauvignon, which been on the market about 18 months. Even though it would go on to win accolades, it took a long time to get our first Cabernet any attention. For the father-and-son team it was the start of a working relationship that has lasted more than 30 years \u2013 a partnership embedded in the name One Point Five. John and Doug eventually coined the term \u201ca generation and a half\u201d to differentiate theirs from a traditional second-generation story. |
