Staglin Estate Salus Cabernet Sauvignon

A sophisticated and charitable expression of Rutherford terroir, the Salus Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to be more approachable in its youth than the flagship Estate bottling, while maintaining the family's signature elegance. This wine displays a deep ruby-purple hue and opens with an inviting bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe black cherries, and cocoa powder, accented by notes of cedar and dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and supple, showcasing a velvety texture with fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity. Flavours of blackberry and plum are complemented by hints of tobacco and baking spices from maturation in French oak, leading to a long, polished finish.
