Winemaker Notes
The 2000 vintage shows aromas of blueberries, blackberries and rose petals, layered with notes of white chocolate and baked bread. Tannins are mouth-filling, yet silky and supple.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is full of youthful exuberance and vivacity, but will continue to open and become more expressive in the bottle, and should age beautifully for 15+ years. The wine was aged for 20 months in French oak, two-thirds of the barrels being new, and the remainder once-used.

Founded in 1985 by Shari, Garen, Brandon and Shannon, Staglin Family Vineyard takes pride in the tradition of family ownership and participation. With an uncompromising commitment to quality, their mission is to produce world-class wines that reflect the distinctive character of this historic Rutherford Bench estate. As stewards of this land, they farm the vineyard organically, tap into their solar fields for power and produce the wines in a state-of-the-art underground production facility. The Staglins are passionate about their business, their land, their philanthropy and for the meaningful relationships they develop with each passing day. They hope this passion is evident when you enjoy their wines.
In addition to the flagship Staglin Family Vineyard label, they also produce a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay under the Salus label. Named after the Roman goddess of health and well-being, they donate 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these wines toward fundraising for mental and brain health research, a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts. Over the last 30 years, they have raised over $513 million dollars for this charity.
