2019 Shafer Vineyards One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District Jeb Dunnuck – Score: 96
“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is a gem of a wine that readers will love to have in their cellars. Sweet cassis violets and graphite define the bulk of the aromas and it’s a classic Napa Valley Cabernet on the palate with its full-bodied richness velvety tannins and opulent yet balanced style. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon 12% Merlot and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot raised 20 months in new barrels it’s going to keep for a solid two decades. There are 9000 cases of this

“Aromas of blackberries with old spice dark cherries and cloves following through to a medium to full body with a solid core of ripe fruit and a creamy and stony underlying character. Juicy and rich yet not overbearing. Cabernet sauvignon merlot malbec and petit verdot. Drinkable now but better in 2025.”

Antonio Galloni Vinous – Score: 93
“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is such an elegant wine. Bright red-toned fruit and effusive aromatics lend striking brilliance to a Cabernet that is gracious and light on its feet. The 2019 stands out for its freshness and red fruit profile. It is beautifully done. One Point Five remains one of Napa Valley’s little hidden gems; a wine that is seldom talked about in a discussion of the very top bottlings but a Cabernet that never disappoints.”

Robert Parker Wine Advocate – Score: 93
“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon 12% Merlot 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color it delivers bright vibrant notes of cassis cedar Marmite toast and black raspberries with hints of bay leaves and tilled earth in the background. The palate is full-bodied rich and plush featuring a lively backbone and a long finish that displays wonderful purity and precision.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown
