Note di degustazione
I often think the 2014s in Napa are underrated, and the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five certainly doesn't do anything to change that opinion. This is a vintage that excels on its balance and charm, and the wines grow on you with time in the glass. Possessing a touch of the 2012’s sexy, seamless style as well as a kiss of the 2016 with its elegance and finesse, the 2014 offers lots of classic cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as medium to full body, beautifully polished, elegant tannins, remarkable purity of fruit, and a brilliant array of spice, tobacco, flowers, and incense on the nose.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five shows beautiful purity, not the weight, profound depth and structure of the 2013, but it is still medium to full-bodied, elegant, graceful and a classic example of the Stags Leap appellation. Drink it over the next 15+ years.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five offers up scents of lavender, cloves, menthol, licorice, spice and graphite. Savory, delineated and tightly wound, the 2014 is a picture perfect example of the vintage. Winemaker Elias Fernandez adds that the drought was more severe in 2014 than it was in 2013. This is another strong showing from Shafer.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five brings together striking aromatic nuance along with the textural richness that is such a signature of this wine. Lavender, rose petal, dark red and bluish fruits and mint are laced together in a refreshing, vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers the goods.
