Shafer Vineyards

Shafer Vineyards is one of Napa Valley’s most distinguished hillside estates, renowned for crafting benchmark wines of depth, purity, and longevity. Founded in 1972 on the historic slopes of the Stags Leap District—first planted in 1880—Shafer helped redefine modern Napa Cabernet with its inaugural 1978 vintage. Led by legendary winemaker Elias Fernandez, now in his 41st vintage, Shafer continues to set the global standard for precision, balance, and site-driven excellence, from Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon to Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay.
