Staglin

Staglin Family Vineyard is a Rutherford estate established in 1985 when Shari and Garen Staglin purchased the historic Adamson Vineyard, a 50-acre property with vine origins dating to the 1880s. The estate is situated on the Rutherford Bench, one of Napa's most celebrated terroir zones, with deep alluvial soils that reliably produce Cabernet Sauvignon of benchmark concentration and the distinctive 'Rutherford Dust' mineral quality. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon leads the 312-lot auction record at $148 average and has earned multiple 100-point scores from Robert Parker and James Suckling. The Booth Bella Oaks Cabernet, sourced from the adjacent historic vineyard previously associated with Heitz Wine Cellars, provides an alternative Rutherford expression. The Stagliano Sangiovese is a curiosity — a rare attempt at the Tuscan variety in Rutherford — while the Estate Chardonnay completes the range. The family's philanthropic work in mental health research through the One Mind institute is inseparable from the Staglin brand identity. With old-vine complexity from 1880s-era plantings still in the estate and a Rutherford Bench location that has anchored some of Napa's finest Cabernets, Staglin combines historical depth with contemporary critical acclaim.
