Staglin Family 'Salus' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018/2019 MENDOCINO COUNTY a heretofore unknown plot ofRipe, dark and wonderfully herbaceous, the 2016 Salus Cabernet Sauvignon is redolent of the tradition but undeniably Napa in its abundant exuberance. Deep black and blue fruits rich with confection swirl around a plushly textured core, given lift and dimension by resinous flowers, milled spices and subtle earth. At once pillow y and powerful, this youthful wine will likely shed some weight and become more determined with additional time in bottle.
