Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five 2021
/100
One Point Five er DEN arketypiske Bordeaux-blend fra Shafer i Stags Leap District i det sydlige Napa Valley. Blandingen består af 94 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 procent Petit Verdot, 2 procent Merlot og 1 procent Malbec. Druerne stammer fra vinmarkerne Borderline Vineyard, Sunspot, Isley (lige ved siden af vingården), Hermosa, Haystack og Ridgeback. Det er egentlig andenvinen til Napa Valley-ikonet Hillside Select og fremstilles naturligvis med samme omhu. One Point Five er helt klart en af de bedste rødvine i sin prisklasse, især i en generelt fremragende californisk årgang som 2021. Dyb, strålende rubinrød farve med tydelige tårer langs glasets kant. Næsen er intens og fyldt med moden hindbærfrugt, også hindbærlikør, lidt mynte og delikate, røgede aromaer fra fadlagringen. Frugten er utrolig præcis og intens. Den røgede, mørke mineralitet lægger sig over det hele, selvom vinstokkene hovedsageligt vokser på kalkholdige jorder – her er slet ingen vulkansk jord. I munden møder vi flormelisagtige tanniner, der langsomt bygger sig op på tungen. Cedertræ, sort peber, mørk chokolade, brombær og moden blomme. Krydderierne klinger efter og skyller nærmest som en bølge over min tunge. En absolut imponerende vin. Trods sin kraft og voldsomme styrke forbliver den altid perfekt afbalanceret i munden. Og selvom det ikke er en billig vin, er den alligevel et absolut »kup« fra Napa Valley.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five
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. 96/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five
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.
The Wine Independent om: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 One Point Five needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of crushed blueberries, juicy plums; and warm cassis plus nuances of licorice, cumin seed, and incense. The big, rich, full-on full-bodied palate packs a wallop of black and blue fruit, supported by ripe, plush tannins and bold freshness, finishing with great length. 95/!00

Suckling om: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five
Beautiful black and blue fruit on offer here with notes of violets, sea shell, iodine and graphite. Full-bodied, broad-shouldered and structured with super-fine and dense yet almost weightless tannins that push the depth of the wine, leading to a smooth, caressing finish. Try after 2026. 94/100

Galloni om: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is fabulous. Ample and resonant, the 2021 is captivating right out of the gate. Dark cherry, plum, gravel, incense, licorice and dark spice all meld together. The One Point Five is potent and a bit brooding, but it is done in the more restrained style that is the norm here these days.

Wine Spectator om: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five
Frankly ripe, with a deep, alluring well of açaí berry, blackberry and boysenberry puree flavors that glide through on the polished structure. Pretty flashes of spices, sweet bay and violet skitter through for contrast. The finish is polished, generous and fruit-filled. Drink now through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 9,000 cases made.
