Description
The Shafer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is composed of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec. In the glass it has a deep garnet purple color. The One Point Five bursts out of the glass with notes of crème de cassis, chocolate, cherries, blackberries, fresh bay leaves, fertile earth and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely covered with juicy black fruit flavors, supported by soft tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing with an invigorating spice.
ABOUT SHAFER VINEYARDS
Shafer Vineyards was founded in 1972, when John Shafer, after a successful career in publishing, together with his son Doug, purchased vineyards on the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley. They purchased 84 hectares, of which 12 were planted with vines. A program of replanting and replanting was immediately implemented. From the start, the Shafers have been very innovative. The goal was to arrive at a completely natural way of growing grapes and making wine. By growing clover and peas, among other things, which in addition to preventing erosion also form a rich humus layer, bees and other insects are attracted that ensure optimal pollination and a natural habitat. The use of pesticides can therefore be avoided. Winemaker Elias Fernandez has been working at Shafer since 1994 and is considered one of the most talented winemakers in Napa.
