Sterling Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (75cl, 14.7%)

Sterling Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Sterling Vineyards. Fruit is sourced around Calistoga and Diamond Mountain, and the wine is aged for 18 months in French, Hungarian and American oak barrels. Grapes are harvested during cool morning hours and given a two-day cold soak before fermentation. Calistoga fruit contributes soft tannins and ripe black fruit, while Diamond Mountain fruit adds backbone and balance. The nose shows black currant, blackberry, raspberry, cedar, toasty oak, espresso, tobacco, cardamom and dark chocolate. The palate is plush with blackberry, briar fruit, roasted coffee, brown sugar, black licorice and clove. The finish is long with dark chocolate, cedar and savory spice.
