StaglinEstate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Wine critic Jeb Dunnuck deemed this wine perfect, awarding it 100 points. These days, 100 points is still a big deal—and we can’t think of a wine more deserving of this elusive score than Staglin’s 2021. Made from 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc, it reflects the intensity and concentration typical of the small-berried 2021 vintage. Aged in 63% new French oak, it delivers notes of nutmeg and spiced mocha, balanced by lavender and dark berry tones on the palate.

About Staglin:
Staglin Family Vineyard has been a cornerstone of Napa Valley since the 1980s, earning top scores and a devoted following among fine wine collectors. Founded by Shari and Garen Staglin and now led by their daughter Shannon, the winery celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Though its modern chapter began in 1985, the estate’s roots trace back to 1864, when original owners John and Mary Steckter planted 60 acres of vines alongside wheat and cattle pastures on the Rutherford Bench.

Today, this prized site is widely recognized for its excellence, with neighbors like Scarecrow, To Kalon, and Joseph Phelps Insignia. The Staglin family has carefully stewarded the vineyard with longtime viticulturist David Abreu and an impressive roster of winemakers over the years, including Luc Morlet, Bob Levy, Celia Welch, Michel Rolland, Andy Erickson, and now Fredrik Johansson.

Napa Valley’s vintner community is generous, but the Staglins stand out—raising over $600 million for brain and mental health through their One Mind Music Festival. They also donate 100% of profits from their SALUS wines to the cause.
