Sterling Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner's Collection 2022

Introduction

This bold and approachable red wine hails from the United States, specifically from the Central Coast and broader California appellations. Sterling Vineyards was founded in 1964 by Peter Newton, a British expatriate who established the winery near Calistoga in Napa Valley and famously modelled its architecture after the white-stucco villages of Mykonos. Now owned by Treasury Wine Estates, the winery maintains a philosophy of crafting distinctive, hand-crafted wines meant for everyday enjoyment. The Vintner's Collection is designed as a high-value tier, utilizing premium grapes from diverse vineyards to deliver a signature style that is both elegant and full of depth.

Wine Description

The Sterling Vintner's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a deep ruby appearance. The nose is captivating and intense, parading aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry accented by rich notes of caramel, mocha, and toasted oak spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, offering a balanced expression of plum, blackberry pie, and toffee, with integrated hints of vanilla and cocoa.
