An Alberta based consignor and chef who began their own collection in the late 1980’s when they oversaw purchasing wine for a group of hotels. A nice showing of wine from Bordeaux and California, the bottles were sourced through government stores in Alberta and British Columbia and were stored in a temperature-controlled wine cabinet.
The score for 1997 Staglin Family Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford is 92 from Wine Enthusiast and the tasting note - A youthful, exciting wine that offers plenty of earth and cassis. It seems tight and closed now, with packed in tannins, a condensed mouthfeel and some mild green pepper notes on the tail end. Definitely a wine for the cellar. Give it some time and it should open up its wings.
