{"product_id":"staglin-family-cabernet-sauvignon-2019-75cl","title":"Staglin Family Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the wine the Salus profits help make possible — Staglin's flagship Estate Cabernet, grown on a Rutherford Bench site that has carried vines since 1864. The Staglins farm it organically, and for years leaned on the eye of David Abreu, one of Napa's most sought-after vineyard men, to manage it. That pedigree is the reason this bottle sits where it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage was defined by drought and cool, even temperatures, which produced record-small berries and clusters — nature's own concentration. This wine then took an extra six months in barrel before bottling, adding polish to the power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeb Dunnuck awarded it 100 points. The notes run brooding and deep: dark purple fruit, mocha, mint and supple leather, with black currant, sun-warmed fig, liquorice and savoury herbs playing across a frame of refined but powerful tannins. It tapers to dark chocolate, cedar and crushed lavender. This is Rutherford Cabernet at full stretch — muscular, layered, but never clumsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt £250 this is collector-level Napa, and the perfect score and organic estate provenance back it up. It is drinking impressively but tightly wound; the reward comes with cellaring into the 2030s, or a long, patient decant if you can't wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at 16 to 18°C. Decant young bottles for one to two hours, or lay it down. Use your largest Bordeaux glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott's in Mayfair for a landmark bottle. Wiltons on Jermyn Street for the old-guard treatment. The Connaught Bar afterwards, for a considered nightcap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dry-aged côte de boeuf, simply cooked, is all this wine asks for. Roast venison with a dark jus is the game-season alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57142824501572,"sku":"HO34402B19","price":249.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO34402B21.png?v=1784037567","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/staglin-family-cabernet-sauvignon-2019-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
