Shafer 1.5

[Bucko]

2005 Shafer, One Point Five, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, $70, 9,500 cases. The nose is complex and inviting – blackberries, violets, dusty earth and cedar. Impeccably balanced, with firm but silky tannins, the flavors are full and engaging. There is a little heat from the 14.9 percent alcohol, but the wine carries it well at this point; 91/91.

Bucko,

would you recommend holding onto it for a few more before popping them?

That was the 2004 I believe. I'd cellar for a few years for sure.

Many thanks Bucko!
