Tasting profile
A bold, full-bodied Cabernet showing deep garnet color and rich dark fruit -- cassis, black cherry, and plum -- framed by well-integrated oak and heavy tannins that resolve into a notably smooth mouthfeel. Reviewers highlight hints of licorice, a fragrant bouquet, and an exceptionally long, smooth finish, with some noting the 15.5% alcohol and a need for breathing time.

What reviewers say
“deep rich garnet color. notes of cassis, black cherry, and plum. well integrated oak, but alcohol a bit more evident on initial nosing... blows off with time in the glass.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Aromas of crushed red and black summer berries, rose petal and herbs. In the mouth the generous, lush black and red fruits integrate enticingly with sage, tobacco leaf, smoke and black spice all wrapped within a structure of ripe Stags Leap District tannins.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 4,420.
