February 2013 | 2009 Staglin Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon: 95 points
"A lovely subtle Cabernet with firm tannins, a generous ripeness and great acidity. The wine offers a very intense nose with notes of ripe black fruits followed by a touch of cedar wood, tobacco and a hint of eucalyptus which bring a touch of freshness. Drink 2014-2030."
-Yohan Jousselin MS of Decanter

December 2012 | 2009 Staglin Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon: 95 points
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is bursting with primal energy. Sweet floral notes meld into juicy red berries, spice box and cedar, all of which are laced together with remarkable elegance. Silky tannins add to an impression of refinement and total finesse. In 2009, Staglin’s Cabernet Sauvignon impresses for its superb delineation and nuance. The 2009 can be enjoyed with minimum cellaring if given a few hours in decanter. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029."

December 2012 | 2009 Staglin Family Vineyard INEO Proprietary Red: 94+ points
"Mocha, espresso, plums, tobacco and new leather all come to life in the 2009 INEO. A rich, layered Bordeaux-styled blend, the INEO is endowed with serious depth and power. I very much like the wine’s inner resonance and sheer personality. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. The relatively high amount of Cabernet Franc gives the wine much of its beguiling, complex bouquet and compelling personality. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2029."

December 2012 | 2010 Staglin Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon: 96+ points
"The estate’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with juicy red berries, tar, asphalt, licorice, mint and violets. The 2010 is a little cooler, racier and yet more reticent than the 2009, but that is very much in the style of the year. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame the finish. Hints of mocha, blueberry jam and cloves resonate on the powerful, structured, saline-infused finish. The 2010 is sexy, explosive and striking, but it needs time. With a little air, the wine becomes more delicate and refined. There is a level of nuance and pure class in the 2010 that elevates it to one of the finest and most promising wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030."
