The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is an attractive, sleek wine. Like many producers, Staglin chose to pick earlier than normal to avoid the worst of fire impact, so the 2020 immediately stands out because of its effusive, lifted aromatics and mid-weight structure. All the elements are very nicely balanced. Dark cherry, espresso, mocha, cloves and incense are all woven together. This is promising.

Staglin made one of the better 2020 Cabernets I tasted. Winemaker Fredrik Johansson explained that the wine did not see any new wood (which can provide smoke markers through toast levels) until the wine had tested clean of smoke taint. It will be interesting to see how it develops over the coming months and years. Although red wines are naturally the focus, the Staglin family also makes a truly distinctive Chardonnay.
