Still lively and kicking. 50 years old! I bought this when I worked in the tasting room at Sterling in 1976.

74 Sterling Pinot Noir. Incredible fruit still. Rick Forman knew what he was doing with this fruit, probably the diRossa vineyard

Carneros fruit, almost full body, maybe just needed to breathe some time more!

Heavier Pinot- would be good to let breath- or keep a few bottles to age. Great full body smooth and fruit forward.
