The finest example of this estate I've ever tasted the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a flat-out sensational effort that hits perfection. Exhibiting a deep purple hue as well as a smorgasbord-like array of cassis scorched earth chocolate and spicy wood it has a Pauillac-like cedar pencil character full-bodied richness and voluptuous a layered multi-dimensional mouthfeel and sweet tannins. While there's considerable structure it's concealed by the wine?s extravagant fruit richness and opulence. This prodigious sensationally pure heavenly Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and will have another three decades of overall longevity.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Rich deep and expansive with tremendous depth it has a ton to offer. Blackberry gravel incense cloves graphite and dried herbs saturate the palate. A deep statuesque wine the Staglin Cabernet is seriously impressive. All it needs is time. The warm dry year produced small berries with thick skins and plenty of natural concentration. As a result Staglin gave the 2021 an extra five months in barrel. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2024 Staglin showed a gorgeous set of wines this year. Naturally the reds get most of the attention but I would be remiss if I did not spend a minute on the 2023 Chardonnay which is exceptional and worth seeking out. The 2022s turned out well. Winemaker Fredrik Johansson fermented at cooler peak temperatures and gave the wines less time in wood than in most years. He also used a bit less new oak and bottled the wines at 22 months (bigger vintages often spent more time in wood here) all with the goal of preserving as much balance as possible.
