Shafer’s 2023 **One Point Five** is a polished, expressive Cabernet with classic Napa richness and a distinctly Stags Leap silky texture. It opens with **blackberry, cassis, black cherry, and plum**, layered with notes of **violet, graphite, cedar, and dark chocolate**.
The palate is full-bodied but refined, with ripe tannins, fresh energy, and a long, elegant finish. In style, it can call to mind a more supple, more Bordeaux-leaning Napa Cab, with a hint of Pauillac-like pencil shaving character.
Serve it with **grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or a mushroom tart**.
