Sleek and polished, this is a textural triumph, with silky tannins and rich, well-defined flavors of dark berry, currant, cassis, mocha, cedar and road tar. Drink now through 2032.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has a very pretty nose of fragrant earth, red and black currants, black plums and underbrush with hints of cigar box and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with expressive earth and black fruit flavors, supported by a seamless backbone of ripe tannins and great freshness, finishing long.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is classic in the vintage, and each of these releases from Staglin show their place of origin as well as the vintage beautifully. Loads of blueberries, violets, camphor, and forest floor notes all emerge from this ultra-fine, elegant, yet concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon that has beautifully integrated tannin, a great mid-palate, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's deceivingly approachable but is going to evolve for 20+ years given its incredible balance and purity.
