What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Winemakers Notes

Flavors of briar blackberries raspberries hints of roasted coffee and an earthy savory spiciness coat the palate and lead to a long elegant finish.

This wine was a nice value. I just corked it a few nights ago and was thrilled with what I found. The tannins were quite silky, it had "great legs", it was well balanced, and was complemented by a smooth finish... I'll be grabbing a few more if I can find them...

The 04 was a weak year for these guys, however this 05 was well worth the $$$.

The Sterling Vintner’s Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to express the intense fruit character produced in Monterey in a full, balanced wine. Distinctive aromas of cherry and blackberry fruit are followed by subtle notes of oak and vanilla. The palate boasts black cherries, dark chocolate and a long structured finish. The texture is full, rich, and soft in the mouth making it a great match with red meat dishes, cheese, and dark chocolate.

Dark ruby in color, the Cabernet Sauvignon opens to spicy notes of raspberry and black cherry with hints of cedar and toasty oak rounding out the nose. Flavors of briar, blackberries, raspberries, hints of roasted coffee and an earthy, savory spiciness coat the palate, and lead to a long, elegant finish. These wonderful flavors and the wine's smooth, mouth-filling tannins make this wine a perfect accompaniment to barbecued steaks and lamb chops, as well as richer pasta dishes and ripe cheeses.

A well-oaked, deeply hued red wine with structure and complexity that belie the Sterling's reasonable price tag. Fresh mixed berry flavors mingle with an earthy, woodsy character; drink this Cabernet Sauvignon with rich roasts or your favorite soft cheeses.
