Notes on the Wine
Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines fruit from mountain vineyards, which lend structure and brambly flavor notes, with selected blocks from the valley floor, which impart rich texture and luscious tannins to this beautifully balanced wine. Individual vineyard lots are aged separately, then blended to create a decadently full-bodied wine, which features flavor notes of black plum and boysenberry, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Notes on the Producer
Sterling Vineyards was founded in 1964 by Oxford graduate and successful businessman Peter Newton. As one of only 27 bonded wineries in Napa Valley at the time, Sterling Vineyards was an early pioneer of crafting Bordeaux-inspired red wines in California and helped transform the region into the premier winemaking appellation we know today. In 1969 Sterling Vineyards bottled the first vintage-dated Merlot in California. This was also the winery’s first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
