Shafer, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley (California) 2015

Jul 24, 2018

By Robert Whitley

 Shafer’s Bordeaux-style blend from this vintage is a stunning example of the excellence Shafer has produced for more than three decades.  Primarily cabernet sauvignon (90 percent) with a splash of merlot and Malbec, the 2015 sings with freshness and flavor from the first sip until the last.  It exhibits a seductive floral note, with mixed black fruits, aromas of savory herbs and sweet spices, and a long, impressive finish.
