Winemaker Notes
Staglin Family Vineyard winemaking is accomplished to create wines of intense fruit character, with soft, supple tannins that allow the wine to be drunk upon release, but have the capacity to age and become extremely complex over time. Their wines have a long finish, and deep color, characteristic of the grapes from the vineyard.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There are 4,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon from Staglin's Rutherford vineyard. (They are in the process of building caves under the hills adjacent to the vineyard.) This Cabernet includes a touch of Cabernet Franc in its blends, is aged in 100% French oak, and is quickly becoming a classic example of Rutherford Cabernet. The finest Staglin Cabernet Sauvignon to date may be the 1999. It boasts spectacular aromatics (jammy black currants, tobacco, cedar, vanillin) as well as a seamless, concentrated, full-bodied palate with terrific purity, symmetry, and length. The sweet tannin, wood, and alcohol are all beautifully-integrated in this flawless Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.

Juicy plum skins and dark earthy flavors are thick and rich in this valley floor Cabernet. The gingersnap and tobacco aromas are very pleasing. The finish is spicy and dry yet supple at the same time.

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.
