Staglin Family Vineyard
Rutherford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Oh man this was singing. I think it's reached a plateau that will last for a decade. Needs lots of air. Give it an hour in a decanter and then watch this flower unfold. Bravo!

Oct 31st, 2020A nice full palate experience with fine grained tannins and a nice balance to keep the big flavors in check.

Jun 1st, 2019Really drinking nicely for a middle aged big napa cabernet. Plenty of deep fruits- more on the dark end with hints of herbs and tobacco. Long plush finish and refreshing enough to be very enjoyable.

Nov 1st, 2015Totally agree with my Dear Friend Somm André Compeyre "this powerful baby is redolent of ze Napa garrigue" rosemary, thyme and all. Perfect with veal ragú tagliatelle. Life is beautiful.

Jun 3rd, 2015For me, still one of the best 06's out there. So refined and elegant. So fleshy yet without being heavy handed.
