Tasting Note
The 2019 Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep, inky ruby color. The nose bursts with layers of ripe blackberry, cassis, dark plum, and hints of black cherry, complemented by aromas of graphite, toasted vanilla, mocha, and subtle cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, yet beautifully structured, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that carry flavors of dark berries, espresso, licorice, and dark chocolate through a long, persistent finish. Polished and powerful, this Cabernet delivers both richness and finesse, with cellaring potential for 15+ years.
