2011 | Staglin Family Vineyard | Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

A slightly lean wine with dark-chocolate and berry character. Medium body with firm tannins and a juicy finish. Classy and delicious.

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has aged beautifully. It shows the intensely savory profile of the year but also has plenty of richness and texture, along with the balance to see it aged for another decade plus. I would continue to cellar the 2011, as it still has quite a bit of baby fat. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, chocolate menthol and pine build with a bit of time in the glass. Production was 1,500 cases, down by about 40%. I loved the 2011 when I tasted it eight years ago, and feel the exact same way today.

• James Suckling: A slightly lean wine with dark-chocolate and berry character. Medium body with firm tannins and a juicy finish. Classy and delicious. Very solid for the vintage.

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.
