Staglin Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
The 40th Anniversary Selection 2022 Staglin Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the sunshine and abundant maturity of the vintage. A nose of intoxicating and dense blackcurrant and cocoa powder precedes broad spectrum complexity on the palate. Dark hued cherry and blackberry compote, mocha, warm nutmeg, vanilla, fresh lavender and a touch of tarragon are enhanced by full-figured richness and a plush mouthfeel. Energetic and buoyant acidity partners with pillow-soft, super fine tannins that linger for an impressive, lengthy finish.
2022 was in many ways more balanced and mild relative to the recent few vintages but was defined by and will be remembered by its extremes. While the winter started off with delightfully generous rains, the start of new year turned into the driest three month period on record. Despite the short dry winter, a combination of very early season irrigations and fortuitously timed April rains allowed for good vine development that enjoyed the steady and consistent heat through the heart of the summer. These generous and balanced conditions continued into early September when elevated warmth brought the growing season to an end and initiated the start of the red fruit harvest.
