2022 | Staglin Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon | Rutherford Vatan Toro dark olives and some violetsThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate shows the elevated ripeness of the year in its flamboyant personality. Super ripe dark cherry, plum, espresso, menthol and cloves fill out the layers. Sumptuous and creamy, with fine energy, the 2022 is impeccably balanced. Its a terrific effort in a very challenging year. I imagine it will drink well with minimal cellaring, although bottle age will likely help some of the baby fat. 94 Pts Vinous
