Introducing the new Staglin Family “Salus” Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, our Porthos EXCLUSIVE “Cabernet Insider” pick for the week! Robert Parker recently named Staglin "the pre-eminent estate winery in Rutherford" which is saying a lot considering neighboring vineyards include Rubicon, Far Niente, and Opus One. Now is your chance to own a few bottles of this rare insiders-only “Salus” bottling is one luscious, full fruit Cabernet, crafted in an approachable style and sourced from the same Staglin Family vineyard source as their Estate bottling that sells for almost double. Normally only available to their private mailing list, the Staglins have just agreed to allow us to offer 10 cases of this special bottling to the first Porthos members that RSVP now.
PORTHOS INSIDER SCOOP: 25% of the proceeds from the sales of Staglin “Salus” Cabernet go directly to support mental health research.
WINEMAKER TASTING NOTES: “Opening with a profuse nose reminiscent of a plum, blackberry compote spiced with anise, pencil shavings, freshly tilled soil and a whiff of menthol, the wine enters the palate with a salvo of Marasca cherries and black currants. It melts into a mid-palate rich with ripe plums, blackberries and five-spice macerated black cherries culminating in a finish of dark chocolate coated blueberries lengthened by supple, velvety, mouth coating tannins. This wine is drinking frightfully well now and should continue to do so for many more years to come.” |
