Shafer remains a reference-point winery for Napa Valley. In a region where key people come and go every few years, Shafer has succeeded in creating an environment that fosters long-term loyalty. Winemaker Elias Fernandez arrived at Shafer straight out of Davis 30 years ago and worked his way up to the top, allowing Doug Shafer to concentrate on building the business. That partnership has paid big-time dividends for years and is one of the best examples of how important long-term organizational stability is in achieving a consistently high level of performance. As for the wines, they are terrific across the board. Readers who want to gain a little more perspective on the 2012 vintage might enjoy this short video I shot with John and Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez in May 2013.
