About Staglin 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Salus, Napa Valley
The Staglin Family Vineyard has a 130-year heritage of viticulture and rich social history based on an extraordinary procession of owners through multiple generations.
Situated at the base of the western slopes of Mount St. John, the tallest mountain in the Mayacamas Range, this sixty-one-acre property is located in an alluvial fan containing rich volcanic soils. With ideal soils, microclimate and location, the estate’s potential was recognized by some of the first Napa Valley settlers and was planted in vineyards in the mid 1860s.
Today the property is home to the Staglin family, fifty-one acres of vines, an underground winery, the historic homestead, a solar array and the many critters that inhabit this certified organic estate.
The poised 2018 Salus Cabernet Sauvignon is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc aged 9 Months in 100% French oak, 84% new. Its well composed flavors of cassis and boysenberry redolent with raspberry liqueur, milled spices and subtle earth flow seamlessly into a balanced midpalate full of finely crafted detail. Filigreed tannins produce a delightfully delicate and textured wine with a finessed and silky structure that is drinking well right out of the gate yet hints at layers yet to be fully revealed.
