The Winery

Staglin Family

Garen and Shari Staglin founded their Family winery, located in Rutherford, Napa Valley, in 1985. The 50-acre vineyard was passed through the hands of several different proprietors that made it famous for producing premium wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sangiovese. The land lies on an alluvial fan of volcanic soils at the base of Mount St. John which creates a unique microclimate for the vines that were first planted in the mid-1860s.

As a family, they made a commitment to quality and a mission to produce world-class wines that represent the unique character of the historic Rutherford estate. As administrators of this land, they farm organically, use solar fields for power, and produce the wines in a modern underground production facility. The Staglin family is not only passionate about their business model and their land but the philanthropy which they started as a means to raise mental health awareness. This passion is evident when you enjoy their wines.

Tasting Notes

WA95–98
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate may turn out to be one of the finest examples of this cuvee yet made. Already exhibiting complex notes of forest floor, spring flowers, loamy soil and abundant black currant, black raspberry, licorice and charcoal notes, this full-bodied, opulent 2012 shows no hard edges. It should turn out to be spectacular. Both of these 2012s will drink exceptionally well young and last for two decades or more.
JS95
This is very sexy and seductive with blackberry and dark chocolate character. Full and polished. Fine tannins that go on for minutes. Loving this. Drink or hold.
