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

WS93
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.
WA92
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. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and consume it over the following two decades.
