Staglin Family Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a rich, heady wine that is going to need a number of years to shed its baby fat and come into its own. Dark and vertical in feel, the 2019 possesses tremendous energy as well as power. Black cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice, espresso and cloves build into the huge, resonant finish. The 2019 spent 22 months in barrel, 80% new. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. Drinking window: 2027-2039. Score – 96+. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Oct. 2022)
