2012 Shafer Vineyards One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon (3L) (With Box)

"I continue to love this vintage, which is always a more open, sexy, extroverted style compared to the more dense, concentrated, and formidable 2013s. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five gives up a healthy purple/ruby hue as well as a more rounded, expressive, incredibly seductive profile that carries lots of spiced red and black currants, cedarwood, toasted spice, graphite, and loamy earth. Full-bodied, rich, supple, and straight-up seamless on the palate, it has velvety tannins, no hard edges, and a thrilling finish. This is the real deal and will shock you in a blind tasting, as it reminds me of some top 2009 Bordeaux releases." 97/100 - Jeb Dunnuck
