Slightly fruity yet dry. Nice on the first sip. Good little bargain wine.

Smoky smell that can be a tad off-putting. Surprisingly, very fruity and sweet when first hitting the palate. Very light tannins. Light acidity. No unpleasant aftertaste. A little bit like grape juice overall. I enjoy this

Sterling Vineyards born in 1964 by Peter Newton, once a paper broker in England, purchased 70 acres of land in Calistoga and became a Napa Valley winemaker. Dark Red with berry fruit aromas, toasty and spice notes. On the palate, blackberry and plum flavors with smoky spice and black pepper notes. Drying tannins on medium finish, savory with a jolt of spice on the ending.

This wine was actually a meritage. I was disappointed with it. I typically enjoy the wines Sterling produces, but this one lacked taste and was flat. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but definitely would not purchase it again.
