Since 1986, Shari Staglin, her husband Garen, and their children Brandon and Shannon have been producing limited quantities of wine from their estate, and have established their vineyard as one of the most critically acclaimed in Napa Valley. With severe thinning and organic farming, the Staglins work hard to produce world-class wines while giving back to the land. The micro-climate of the Staglin property, nestled against the slope of the tallest mountain in the Mayacamas range, Mt. St. John, and the unique gravelly loam soil with its excellent drainage, gives the Staglin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese an intensity and character that is distinctive. Their Chardonnay grows in soil with a higher clay content, and cooler micro-climate, producing a wine with high acidity and great aging potential. Their 2002 Estate Chardonnay was chosen by the Wine Spectator as the top dry white wine in the world with a rating of 94 points.
