Item Special Note
6 Bottles of Sterling Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2008
The 2008 is the first vintage of Reserve Cabernet crafted in our state-of-the-art Reserve Winery! Decadent dark-fruit aromas open the nose of our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Fragrant spices lift through layers of dark cherries and black cassis, developing an intense perfume of licorice, cocoa powder and black pepper when swirled. With great length and breadth, the fruit spans across the broad palate matched by espresso, vanilla, and anise. The tannins are dense and fleshy, effortlessly supporting the rich, full body and suggesting a long life.
6 Bottles of Sterling Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay, Napa Valley 2012
Sweeping aromas of toffee, nutmeg and clove settle on rich apple pie, baked pear and macerated Meyer lemon in the potent, polished profile of our Reserve Chardonnay. Citrus notes grace round Gala apples and poached pears on the entry, and then dive into toast and crème brulee. Tropical fruit expands through the finish touched by a hint of caramel and baking spice. With refined acidity and a clean palate, this is a wine to enjoy with food; try pork chops stuffed with apples and rosemary or steamed lobsters with drawn butter. To create a balanced Chardonnay that combines both power and elegance, we gently hand harvested the grapes and barrel fermented them in small lots. A portion of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, broadening the mid-palate and adding balance to the bright fruit. Sur lie aging with generous batonnage helped build the creamy, viscous character and multi-layered palate.
