2005 Shafer Cabernet One Point Five (Stags Leap)

Shafer a king in Napa with some very fine wines. I have tried a variety of them. They are consistently excellent, even with the relatively steep price points. A couple years back when they introduced Firebreak it was a real revelation.

The One Point Five is complex, currant, lite oak and yet quite lively on the tongue. It is the kind of wine that you can drink right now, although at the price, you may want to see what it is like when it reaches its estimated (mythical?) maturity in a couple of years. Really pleasant. I have to run off and eat some tacos. Will definitely have some more when I come back.

Back in awhile.
