Staglin 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 295.00
 98 Points - limited                                         Â
Staglin Family produces one of Napa Valley's most collectible Cabernets. Very limited.
98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck: "I was able to taste two wines from Staglin Family, both showing brilliantly. An utterly ultra-classic Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, the Staglin 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Staglin sports a deep ruby/plum color to go with a gorgeous bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and blackberry fruits as well as spicy oak, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied, perfectly balanced, rich, and opulent, yet also pure and precise, this might be the finest vintage of this cuvée ever produced. It will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and has 40-50 years of longevity ahead of it."
97 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Staglin's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate favors energy and tension over volume, at least at this point in its life. Bright, aromatic and sumptuous, the 2018 is fabulous right out of the gate. Inky red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, cedar and menthol race across the palate. The 2018 is bright and focused from start to finish, with impeccable balance, well-judged oak and tons of sheer appeal. It is one of the best recent editions I can remember tasting. Winemaker Fredrik Johansson captured the magic of the 2018 vintage and put it all into the bottle. I can't wait to see how this ages. (Jan 2022)"
95 points Clare Tooley, MW (Decanter): "Opaque, deep ruby, hint of mahogany on the rim. Expressive, classic Cabernet nose of graphite, fresh green leaf, mulberry and fresh currants. Cedar oak underpins the fruit aromatics. The first impression is one of an intensely serious wine. On the palate, that impression continues until the dark, sweet, ripe berry fruit begins to emerge and broaden and intensify in flavour. At that point, the wine relaxes a little and shows its Napa Valley heritage; all fresh, healthy, ripe dark berries from a truly excellent vintage. The tannin texture is grainy and firm but well integrated, leaving no grippy edges, just a rounded mouthfeel. The finish, long and flavourful, mimics the opening in its freshness, with a hint of mint and wild sage. This wine is drinking now but is young and will benefit cellaring for another three to four years before enjoying a long and happy life likely shaking off its serious mantle and maintaining its overtly fruity profile over the next 12 to 15 years. Drinking Window: 2023-2036. (Sep 2021)"
Winemaker Fredrik Johansson has done a fabulous job with these new releases. The Staglin wines are of note this year and point to an estate that may finally be finding a consistently high level."
Staglin Family 2019 SALUS Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 109.99 $ 120.00
Fantastic new Cabernet made exclusively from grapes selected from the Staglin Family Rutherford estate. Limited.
The Staglin 2019 SALUS Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe, dark and wonderfully herbaceous, the 2017 Salus Cabernet Sauvignon is redolent of the tradition but undeniably Napa in its abundant exuberance. Deep black and blue fruits rich with confection swirl around a plushly textured core, given lift and dimension by resinous flowers, milled spices and subtle earth. At once pillow-y and powerful, this youthful wine will likely shed some weight and become more determined with additional time in bottle.
Staglin Family 2021 SALUS Estate Chardonnay, Napa Valley
$ 59.99
Â
Fantastic new Napa Chardonnay made exclusively from grapes selected from the Staglin Family Rutherford estate. Limited
This Staglin 2021 SALUS Chardonnay Napa Valley displays a beautiful golden color with a green hue and reveals a bouquet of ripened Golden Delicious apple, spiced Asian pear and fresh fig complimented by a touch of beeswax. This well-balanced wine is medium bodied and expresses flavors of Candied citrus and William pear leading to a zesty finish. Enjoy this wine for the coming two to three years! Kudos to winemaker Luc Morlet, former winemaker for Peter Michael.
