Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Reserve 2005
|
Dark ruby in color with aromas of sweet toasty oak, elegant black plum and briar fruit layered with cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa and cedar. The flavors are well balanced, with toasty vanilla oak followed by a soft tannin finish, an elegance of structure that will cellar well. A perfect wine for roast beef dishes and savory cheeses.

"If slow to start, somewhat backward and bound up in lots of tough tannin, this very deep, well-extracted Cabernet is a very serious wine of considerable content and one that is meant for the cellar. Almost brooding just now and only beginning to find the first signs of complexity, it displays tenacious black currant fruit from front to back, and its fruit emerges unscathed from its head-on collision with crunching, back-palate tannins. Find a cool, quiet place in the cellar and set this one aside for a good eight to ten years. "
