Shafer Vineyards
One Point Five Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Cran-grape-blackberry sensibility with dark roast coffee undertones, milk chocolate, carnation, caramel, dried parsley, carrot purée. Palate is coffee coated black currant, chicory, dried blackberry, bramble, cedar, tight and green oak notes, violet, baseball glove, tart cherry, tart raspberry and raspberry reduction. Rich offering here to satisfy the lofty spirit, but needs time to coalesce.
Pair with warm fires.

Surprisingly rich and elegant, blueberry pie and fine espresso notes, chocolate truffles. I noted some grilled meat tones that made me think of Syrah. Very satisfying after a short decant from 375.

Dark berries, dark cocoa, lavender, soil. A bit hot. Tannins are in check for being so young. Very nice!

Last nights wine we opened was the 2018 Shafer One Point Five Stags Leap District Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage is a blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec.
On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, sweet tobacco, rose petals, mint and rich earth.
On the palate are wonderful notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, chocolate, licorice, lavender, spice, cedar and earth.
This wine is medium to full bodied with a silky smooth mouthfeel, medium + acidity and medium + smooth round tannins that moves wonderfully into a long dark fruit earthy finish. The weekend is moving swimmingly forward with wonderful friends and loving family. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
