Sterling Vineyards sources 14 diverse vineyards spanning 1200 acres in California’s Napa Valley to create their Napa Appellation Collection wines, including this Cabernet.
First thing to notice is the beautiful bottle – as more and more wineries adopt brighter, flashier colors, the simple silver on black label of this Cab stands out a bit from the crowd.
It’s not bad for $23. The 2012 vintage is full bodied and carries 14.6% alcohol by volume which adds nicely to the flavor and the finish.
In terms of color and flavor, this wine is almost a garnet color – nice rich red with hints of purple depending on the light. It has a sharp flavor marked by acidity – which the winemaker attributes to a cooler growing season.
