About This Event

Nearly 150 Years. One Legendary Napa Valley Story.

Shafer Vineyards is one of Napa Valley's most celebrated historic wineries — a property that's been home to passionate winemaking since 1880. What started as a Chicago publishing executive's dream in 1972 became a legacy defined by 1 winemaker's 40-year commitment to excellence.

Elias Fernandez joined Shafer in 1984 and has spent four decades crafting wines that create delicious, memorable moments wherever they're poured. Named Food & Wine's "Winemaker of the Year," Elias represents the kind of mastery you don't often get to experience up close.

This is your chance. Come taste what 150 years of care and precision tastes like, straight from Jess Hague, Vice President of Shafer Vineyards.

The Wine Lineup

2024 Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay ($80)

“This luminous Chardonnay fills the glass with elegant aromas of citrus blossom, honeysuckle, and exotic spice. Flinty minerality and bright honeydew melon add lift, while vibrant acidity and lithe structure create a sense of purity and poise. Beautifully balanced, it delivers energy, freshness, and lasting finesse.”

2023 TD-9 Cabernet Sauvignon ($85)

"The 2023 displays beautiful complexity with layers of blackberry, black plum, and spice, accented by layers of tobacco, toast, and savory herbs. Both lush and energetic, this mouthfilling Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe, round, and perfectly balanced. Silky tannins provide structure and grace, promising even greater elegance and depth with time in your cellar."

2023 One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon ($115)

"From the landmark 2023 vintage, One Point Five is an exceptional expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at its peak. Layers of blackberry, raspberry, and black licorice unfold alongside notes of bay leaf, sage, cinnamon, clove, and dark chocolate. Complex, expressive, and lush, this wine captures the purity of vintage and varietal character, all wrapped in a structure of ripe tannins that offer evolving, profound beauty for decades.”

*Limited & Library Releases*

2023 Merlot ($100)

"The unparalleled 2023 vintage has produced a Merlot offering abundant layers of red plum, dark cherry, and raspberry, lifted by violet and lavender florals. Notes of vanilla, baking spices, and cherry pie evoke richness, while cranberry and subtle herbs add vibrant freshness. Seamlessly integrated tannins carry through to a remarkably long, graceful finish.”

2016 Relentless Syrah ($100)

“The 2022 Relentless offers an exquisite balance of concentration with elegance. Layers of juicy black plum, wild berry compote, and black licorice exhibit complexity and tension with crushed stone, garrigue, and sage brush. Ideal ripeness and racy acidity add lift to its core. Richly pleasurable now, this vintage will evolve magnificently over the next 20 – 30 years.”
