Shafer Vineyards Making elegant Napa Valley wines since 1978.
(628)

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 42nd 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.

Four decades of vintages, one conversation.

Elias Fernandez sat down with Jim Duane host Jim Duane for a long talk about the work behind the wines — how a vineyard teaches you its own rhythm, and what changes when you’ve made every call on the same hillside for 40 years.
