Staglin Family Vineyard

We are a small, family owned and operated winery (and women owned and run) that produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay off of the Rutherford Bench in Napa Valley. Very limited and small quantities and are estate grown off our 71-acre property.
In addition to the flagship Staglin Family Vineyard label, we also produce a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay under the Salus label. Named after the Roman goddess of health and wellbeing, we donate 100% of the profits from the sales of these wines toward mental and brain health research, a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts. Over the last 30 years, we have raised over $680 million dollars for this charity.
Chardonnay: We inhibit Malolactic Fermentation but barrel ferment the wine for 10 months in 600 liter barriques with only about 35% new oak. Barrel fermentation adds texture and volume. Native Yeasts are used.
Cabernet Sauvignon: We use heritage and modern clones (Spottswoode and Martha’s Vineyard clones) and make final blends off certain blocks. Salus is meant to be an approachable wine at release with intentions to drink now. Staglin Family Vineyard you can surely drink now or hold in your cellar for decades.
Winemakers over the years: Celia Welch, Cathy Corison and Andy Erickson paved the way for our current winemakers, Fredrik Johansson, celebrating his 17th anniversary and Matt Peterson, his 11th.
Neighboring Vineyards: Scarecrow, To Kalon, Joseph Phelps, Rubicon and Bella Oaks.
Vineyard Manager & Team: David Abreu and his crew have been farming the land organically since 1985; we are also 100% solar run.
Michel Roland has been consulting with us since 2000.
