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 proceeds from the sales of these wines toward fundraising for 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 485 million dollars for this charity. You can feel good about buying these wines, knowing it’s going to charity and that you are receiving a quality wine.
American clones used. We inhibit malolactic fermentation. 100% Barrel Fermented and aged 10 Months in oak barrels. 49% new, 51% used.
The generously svelte Salus is a delightful elixir of inviting tropically infused golden citrus surrounding a tight core of fresh green pome fruits. A rich, bright lemon curd and honeycomb entry melts into a lively and linear expression of freshly cut Granny Smith apples spiced by vanilla, nutmeg and a whisper of white pepper given lift and light by hints of lemongrass and banana blossom. While wondrously enjoyable now, the dynamic and evolving expression hints that this wine will give more with a little time in bottle.
