Staglin Family Vineyards Salus Vineyard 2007 Salus is the Roman goddess of health, hence the word Salut for a toast to good health. Surprisingly rich and creamy for no ML treatment.

Staglin Estate Chardonnay 2007... beautiful amber yellow, good acidity, a little heat on the palate, very round on the finish.. even a little more creamy than the Salus..

Staglin Salus Cabernet Sauvignon 2006.. didnt like the first aromas, very green but interestingly enough the fruit was so much deeper in flavor than I would have ever thought. rich and full of textures. 100% cab made from younger vines, so I have hope that this wine will end up even better with some age to it.

Staglin Estate Cabernet 2006.. much more finessed almost racy in its texture and mouthfeel.. dark purple in the glass and dark fruits on the palate...a nuanced touch of oak... a great aging potential.
