98 points!!! “STAGLIN FAMILY VINEYARD Another winning wine from one of the world’s best producers of Cabernet, the 2003 Rutherford Estate ($135) is a great collector’s wine, something to hold in your cellar for very special company, tastings and dinners. Very rich, deep aromas and flavors are present here with notes of the fabled “rutherford dust” in evidence.

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, December 2006
94 points!!! “2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate– The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon … offers a dense purple color, abundant aromas of creme de cassis, spice box, cedar, and Chinese black tea, velvety tannins, and full-bodied power. This complex Cabernet can be drunk over the next 15+ years.”

Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, November 2006
94 points!!! Staglin Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)– What a wonderfully rewarding wine. So delicious and elegant it dazzles, staying firm throughout, and getting even better through the finish. It’s sweetly, opulently ripe, showing a panoply of red and black cherry and mocha flavors wrapped into ripe, dusty, fine tannins. Defines classic Rutherford. Decant if you drink now, or hold through 2020.

James Laube, Wine Spectator, October 31, 2006
91 points!!! “Staglin Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2003– Impressive for its rich, plush, complex core of black cherry, currant, mocha and cedar notes. Sharply focused, intense and persistent, the flavors fan out on the finish, coating the palate. Best from 2007 through 2012. “In addition, on October 9, Wine Spectator Online chose our Cabernet as the “Wine of the Day.”
