Winemaker Notes
The glass comes alive with aromas of crushed red and black summer berries, rose petals, and herbs. In the mouth, the generous, lush black and red fruits integrate enticingly with sage, tobacco leaf, smoke, and black spice all wrapped within a structure of ripe Stags Leap District tannins. The finish is long and pleasurable.
Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon One Pint Five is a big-time winner, a blend of almost all Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Malbec and Petit Verdot. The wine has an opaque bluish/purple color, almost indigo, and is full-bodied with dense chocolaty crème de cassis notes, licorice and a touch of minerality. The wine has well-integrated wood, is full and seems balanced and rich enough to age for two decades or more.

Wine Spectator
Firm and tight, with a tannic band of cedary oak, dark berry, graphite, mocha and espresso notes, ending with chewy tannins and a burst of cherry-laced fruit. Drink now through 2028.

Shafer Vineyards has produced classic Napa Valley wines for more than 40 years.
Shafer’s wines, including its signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Hillside Select, are found in collectors’ cellars and on wine lists in top luxury hotels and restaurants throughout the world.
The vineyard and cellar teams, led by winemaker Elias Fernandez, cultivate more than 200 acres of Shafer-owned vineyards, sources for the winery's celebrated Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay, TD-9, One Point Five, Relentless, and Hillside Select.
The winery has a decades-long commitment to sustainability. Beginning in the 1980s Shafer embraced farming techniques that eliminate insecticides and herbicides, and carefully conserve water resources. In 2004 Shafer became the first winery in the U.S. to go 100% solar.
