2011 Staglin Family Chardonnay
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / NAPA
Wine Advocate | Rating: 93
The 2011 Chardonnay is quite beautiful. It presents an attractive combination of varietal richness from the batonnage and aging on the lees as seen through the lens of the long, cold growing season. Staglin's 2011 Chardonnay stands out for its textural finesse, depth and overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.Author: Antonio GalloniInternational Wine Cellar | Rating: 91
Bright, full yellow. Citrus and tropical fruits on the nose, complicated by high-pitched notes of clove, menthol, lavender, ginger and crushed rock. Ripe, broad and sweet, with a salty thickness to the peach and pear nectar flavors. Very full chardonnay with slightly elevated alcohol but a noteworthy tongue-coating umami texture.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2013

Situated at the base of the Mayacamas Range on the Rutherford Bench, this sixty-one acre property has ideal soils, microclimate and location. The estate's potential was recognized by some of the first Napa Valley settlers and was planted to vineyards in the mid 1860's. Today the certified organic estate is home to the Staglins, fifty-one acres of vines, an underground winery, the historic homestead and a solar array.
Staglin is undoubtedly within the top tier of California Cabernet producers. In addition to the flagship Staglin Family Vineyard label, they also produce a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay under the Salus label.
