Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (only 2,100 cases) exhibits a dense purple color, more obvious tannin, and a more masculine style than the 2003. It’s a bigger wine with additional notes of scorched earth, blueberries, blackberries, and heady cassis. Unlike most 2004 Napa Cabernets, this weighty effort will require some bottle aging.

• James Suckling: Bold, rich and plush, this is impeccably balanced, with ripe, complex plum, wild berry and smoky mocha-laced oak that’s woven into the flavor profile. Focused, deep and persistent. Has a long, complex aftertaste, with a nutmeg scent.

Producer Information

Staglin Family Vineyard is a Californian wine producer located in Rutherford, Napa Valley. It is most famous for its premium wines produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sangiovese. The 20-hectare (50-acre) vineyard passed through many different hands before the Staglin family became the proprietors in 1985 – including a Texan gold and oil tycoon on the run from the law in his home state, as well as the more respectable Beaulieu Vineyard. Located at the base of Mount St. John, the estate vineyard lies on an alluvial fan of volcanic soils. These soils, when combined with the area’s unique mesoclimate, provides ideal growing conditions for vines with the first vineyard established as far back as the mid 1860s. The flagship Staglin Family Vineyard range includes Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter commonly blended with small portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Other wine ranges in the collection include the Salus range with a Bordeaux Blend amoungst other varietal wines. Salus was named after the Roman goddess of health and wellbeing with profits for the Salus range contributed to the funding of mental health research.
