Staglin Family Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

97 Points James Suckling This is a wonderful, flamboyant chardonnay with density and layers of fruit, as well as all the trimmings, from apple tart to toasted oak and vanilla. Yet, it remains bright and lively at the end.

Ripe, dark and wonderfully herbaceous, the Salus Cabernet Sauvignon is redolent of the tradition but undeniably Napa in its abundant exuberance. Deep black and blue fruits rich with confection swirl around a plushly textured core, given lift and dimension by resinous flowers, milled spices and subtle earth. At once pillowy and powerful, this youthful wine will likely shed some weight and become more determined with additional time in bottle.
