Staglin is one of my favorite wineries! This has lots of oak and leather on the nose. Hints of black fruit. Black berry and plum on the palate. Still needs a couple years to round out — 11 years ago

1992. Would have been better 5 yrs ago but still very nice with dried more than fresh fruit (prune/raisin more than plum/ grape) but still a touch of tannin on first opening. Definite cedary Napa dust gives a bit of structure. — 12 years ago

Wow! What a beautiful wine. Wine of the night for sure. Was opened for a few hours and decanted but as good as it was it probably would have been better as a pop and pour. — 13 years ago

1994 and 1995 are arguably the 2 best vintages of the '90s decade at Rubicon and arguably the best vintages produced during Scott McLeod era.

Textbook old school Napa Cab. What once was and should more often be again. Great secondary characteristics, yet still plenty of primary fruit. Possibly at peak but with life left ahead. — 11 years ago

Upon opening i felt it had too much alcohol. This was a misperception. After giving it a half an hour to breathe it balanced out very well. The nose is heavy black currant and bell pepper with creamy vanilla lingering. Great fruit in here lots of over ripe stewed blackberry and dried black currant and dark cherry notes. Slightly smokey with amazing oak flavors. Cinnamon and other baking spices with intense vanilla flavors. Excellent effort. — 12 years ago

Opened nicely after hour but needs more time for the tannins to soften a bit. Raspberries on the nose but Less forward fruit and more nuance. This shows flavors of berry and plum with strong notes of balsam wood and hints of chocolate and spice. This has potential to get better in a couple years but delicious now just decant for at least an hour — 13 years ago

Got that e-m, it must be an incredible feeling to achieve that! It will be fun to continue to taste and I will have to put a tasting dinner together for that comparison... Getting any sleep?
