More Cabernet-dominated the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five checks in as 95% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Petit Verdot 2% Merlot and a splash of Malbec. It has incredible purity in its cassis graphite lead pencil and camphor on the nose and a concentrated medium to full-bodied layered style on the palate that stays tighter and more compact than the TD-9. (Drink between 2026-2044)
This sophisticated and concentrated wine wraps lovely dark plums blueberries and cocoa flavors in velvety tannins that are well-integrated and soothing while still setting the wine up for a potentially long life. Subtle baking spices espresso and cedar accents enhance the impressive fruit flavors. Best from 2027?2037. ? Jim Gordon
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is a very beautiful wine and also the first edition that marks the move towards a more serious Cabernet. Black cherry plum gravel spice leather and tobacco are nicely pushed forward. The 2021 shows the mid-weight style of the year nicely. The One Point Five is mostly estate fruit with some outside vineyards including sources that are now owned by Shafer. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2023 This was my firs
