2015 SHAFER “ONE POINT FIVE” STAGS LEAP DISTRICT CABERNET SAUVIGNON

$94.99

WE 97 – Wine Enthusiast Tasting Notes: “Taut and leathery, this is a thickly tannic, incredibly structured and powerful wine, softened by 7% Merlot and 3% Malbec. Extracted black fruit is poised amongst earthy truffle, crushed rock and black pepper, the aromas and flavors integrated and built to age. Enjoy best 2025–2030. “ Wine Enthusiast 97 POINTS

JS 95 – James Suckling Tasting Notes: “This shows nice concentration on the nose in terms of ash and blackcurrant but also some pretty floral elements with violets and jasmine. Full-bodied with a strong entrée of black fruit but with driven acidity, muscular tannins and a long finish. A blend of 95% cabernet sauvignon, 3% merlot, 1% malbec and 1% petit verdot. Drink in 2019.” James Suckling 95 POINTS
