Sterling 2020 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
93 points James Suckling

This is always one of the best deals in Napa Cabernet and even with inflation being what it is, this has barely increased price. This is a terrific vintage and it’s better than many Napa wines that cost twice as much. There’s plenty of fruit but the herbal and earthy notes really make this special.

“Fragrant aromas of violets, blackcurrants and fresh herbs. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Fresh. Dark-fruited, but bright. Lovely concentration and depth here.” – James Suckling

The power of Napa shows in the rich, deep red garnet colour with aromas and flavours of dark red and black fruits, including black cherry, raspberry, blackberry and ripe plum. Notes of mocha, oak spice and cassis are accented with sea salt caramel and vanilla bean. Intense and full-bodied, the wine is balanced and well-structured with seamless acidity and evident but pleasing tannins. Approachable and welcoming now, the wine will continue to evolve and reveal more of its personality over the next decade.

Sterling Napa Valley wines show the depth, strength and expressive quality of California’s most famous wine region. Fruit for Sterling wines is grown throughout Napa Valley, from the cool southern Carneros region next to San Pablo Bay to the rugged northernmost bench-lands and reaches near their Calistoga homeplace.
