Reviewed August 2021All Cabernet, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five sports a dense purple hue to go with brilliant crème de cassis fruits intermixed with ample graphite, tobacco leaf, and chalky minerality. It's shed a touch of its exuberant baby fat and has closed down slightly since release, yet still brings full-bodied richness and depth. It has another 15+ years of prime drinking ahead of it.

James Suckling
Very strong and pure aromas of blackcurrants with violets and lightly herbal notes, leading to a palate that has dark-mineral allure. This delivers attractive, ripe dark berries with a very long, focused and assertive, neatly cut finish. Elegance with power.

Wine Advocate
Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five Stags Leap is very deep purple-black in color and gives up intense Black Forest cake, black berry pie and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of licorice, eucalyptus, espresso, tar and chargrilled beef. Full-bodied, it packs the black fruit preserves flavors and earthy accents into the palate, with a firm frame and great freshness on the finish. (LPB)

Wine Enthusiast
This wine is sourced from the producer’s Hillside Estate and Borderline Vineyards two miles south of the winery. It offers toasted oak, leather, clove and cinnamon - a savory profile that’s deceptively fresh in underlying acidity. Dark plum and black cherry flavors are lushly textured and spicy on the palate.
