Staglin Salus Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2019

2019 was rather mild and even compared to some of the extremes of the previous few vintages but experienced its own significant range that will define the wines that come from it. From a winter and early spring that were appropriately cold and wet to an abundantly warm and sunny April followed by the near historically rainy May, the season certainly felt a bit like a rollercoaster. However, it proved to be one that knew how and when to let up and slow down when it needed to resulting in a smallish crop reaching peak maturity at the right time.
